Financial institutions cannot afford to be outside of the transition path to low-carbon economies. Energy subsidies, emission standards, and carbon prices will all have a direct impact on the financial positions of these institutions’ clients, making climate risk an important element of any credit decision. Financial institutions will also need to understand the climate risks associated with their non-green assets and design measures to mitigate them.
