The exposure of financial institutions to physical risks: “Macro-economic Damages”

This workshop shall explore and address some of the limitations of current modelling approach’s for climate-related scenario analysis. This session focuses on modelling the influence of physical risks for climate change on macroeconomic variables.

This is the third in a series of scenario analysis workshops co-organised with the NGFS to build upon the NGFS climate scenarios they published in June. Outputs from this discussion between NGFS members, experts and academics will contribute to the second edition of the NGFS climate scenarios to be published in 2021.

This is a closed-door event.

The exposure of financial institutions to physical risks: “Damages induced by extreme weather events”

This workshop shall explore and address some of the limitations of current modelling approach’s for climate-related scenario analysis. This session focuses on modelling damages induced by extreme weather events and aims to develop a common understanding on ways to link the available data on physical risks to the macro-financial models used by central banks.

This is the second in a series of scenario analysis workshops co-organised with the NGFS to build upon the NGFS climate scenarios they published in June. Outputs from this discussion between NGFS members, experts and academics will contribute to the second edition of the NGFS climate scenarios to be published in 2021.

INSPIRE Workshops

The exposure of financial institutions to risks from a transition to a low-carbon economy
November 4, 2020

Co-organised by the NGFS, the objective of this workshop is to build upon the climate scenarios they published in June and address some of the limitations in the current modelling approach, with a focus on transition risks. Experts and academics and experts invited to this workshop will also help develop a coherent framework to link climate scenarios with macro/micro-economic modelling and financial tools that will allow central banks and firms to assess the exposure of their assets to risk derived from climate change.

This is the first in a series of scenario analysis workshops

This is a closed-door event.

The second annual INSPIRE Workshop
INSPIRE Festival 2020

Seven sessions were organised orientated around INSPIRE’s six research themes. NGFS discussants included: Satoshi Ikeda (Financial Services Authority, Japan); Edo Schets (Bank of England); Rafael del Villard (Bank of Mexico); Pierre-François Weber (Banque de France); Fiona Stewart (World Bank); Weilun Lim (Monetary Authority of Singapore); and Pierpaolo Grippa (International Monetary Fund).
