NGFS-commissioned research products
When requested by the NGFS, INSPIRE also commissions outside research to inform work products developed by the NGFS. Currently, such work includes the following projects:
- In 2019, INSPIRE began working with the NGFS’s workstream 1 to support an “Occasional Paper” from independent researchers on current supervisory practices in environmental risk assessment to inform the workstream’s own report on the topic.
- In 2019, INSPIRE has, at the request of the NGFS, worked with workstream 2 to commission a set of external researchers to develop a set of climate “reference” scenarios to assist supervisory authorities and the market to manage climate-related financial risks, and to facilitate dialogue with the research community on such scenario modeling. The initial scenarios and guidance issued by the NGFS as a result of this research can be found here.
INSPIRE commissioned research products
INSPIRE has released both comprehensive and targeted research calls that have incorporated a broad range of research topics aligned to the NGFS’s five dedicated workstreams. Originally this research portfolio could be organized into five thematic areas, see here, however, as the narrative has quickly evolved from why central banks and supervisors should act to how they should act, INSPIRE established a research theme orientated around assessing the impact and effectiveness of policies, see here. Most recently and in response to the COVID-19 crisis, INSPIRE has introduced a new research area focused solely on supporting central banks and supervisors deliver sustainable crisis response measures.
