    Course Description

    The course summarizes the latest development in international frameworks related to climate related risks supervision, complemented by country examples and case studies. The primary focus is on the Basel Committee for Banking Supervision (BCBS) standards, with overlaps to the guides issued by the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) or disclosure standards adopted by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). The course provides guidance on concrete steps in establishing climate related risks supervision. It covers issues which need to be reflected by supervisors in developing their capacity for climate related risks supervision as well as essential considerations for tailoring supervisory expectations towards banks. Participants may be asked to present their country approaches towards climate risks and how it relates to the financial system; potentially, also measures which have been taken by supervision so far.
