2.2Challengeswithmanagingclimate-relatedfinancialrisks

Financialauthoritiesareactivelytakingstepstoappropriatelyconsiderclimate-relatedfinancialrisksandincorporatetheserisksintotheirriskassessments.However,integratingclimate-relatedriskanalysisintoriskmanagementframeworksandfinancialstabilitymonitoringisparticularlychallengingbecause,unliketraditionalriskmeasurement,climate-relatedrisksarecharacterisedbydatagaps,complexphysicalphenomenaandsocietalresponsesthatcannotbeknownwithcertaintyinadvance.Theassessmentofclimate-relatedrisksthereforefacestwobroadsetsofchallenges:

i.methodologicalquestionsontohowtoevaluateinherentlyunknowable,complexfuturetrajectories;and

ii.practicallimitationsonthecurrentstandardisationandavailabilityofdata.

Methodologicalchallenges

Theassessmentofclimate-relatedfinancialrisksintroducesnewconceptstofinancialauthoritiesandriskmanagers.Oneofthekeychallengesforfinancialauthoritiesistheepistemologicalquestionof"risk"versus"uncertainty".Authoritiesrecognisetheneedtodrawasharperdistinctionbetweenriskanduncertaintytohelppractitionersbetterappreciatetheinherentlimitationsinvolvedinassessingclimate-relatedfinancialrisks.Whileriskreferstoquantifiableknowledgeofapossibleoccurrence,uncertaintyreferstounmeasurablefuturestatesthatcannotbequantifiedwithanydegreeofcertainty.Definedbyfundamentallimitationsonpotentialknowledgeandmeasurementoffuturestates,climate-relatedrisksaredistinctlyuncertainandthedatathatareavailablearefarfromperfect.

AmainchallengeidentifiedbytheBCBSinasurveyofauthoritiesisthereforethelackofaharmonisedandrobustanalyticalframeworkforassessingclimate-relatedfinancialrisks.12Measuringclimate-relatedfinancialrisksthereforeinvolvesahighdegreeofuncertaintythatmayleadtomisestimationofrisks.Giventhatfutureclimate-relatedfinancialriskswillprobablydifferfromobservedpatterns,measuringandestimatingtheimpactofclimate-relatedrisksonbanksrequiresauthoritiestotakeabroaderviewofassumptionsabouttheinteractionsbetweentheclimate,anthropogenicactivityandeconomicactivity.Astheseassumptionswillinvolveforecastingthebehaviourofeconomicactorsandpolicymakersandthefutureoftechnologicaladvancement,anysolutionlookingtoprovidearealisticassessmentofriskexposuresmustthereforecontendwiththeseepistemologicallimitations.

Consequently,financialauthoritiesmayneedtoallowamoreheuristic,"roughlyright"approachthattransparentlyreflectsassumptionsmade,asthismaycaptureuncertaintybetterthanhighlyquantifiedapproaches.Toolsthataretransparentaboutthefundamentalunknownsinprojectionswouldlikelyprovemorevaluableforsupervisorydialogue."Roughlyright"approacheswouldallowregulatorsandsupervisorstoapplyflexibilityandpragmatismtoassessingpreparednessformaterialclimaterisks.Thisisevenmorecrucialwhenconsideringchallengeswithdataavailabilityandgreenwashing,whicharediscussedbelow.

Datagaps

Theassessmentofclimate-relatedfinancialrisksrequirestheincorporationofvastlydifferenttypesofdatawithexistingfinancialandregulatorydatathatbanksandfinancialauthoritiestraditionallyuse.TheBCBShasidentifiedthreebroadcategoriesofdatathatareneededtoassessclimate-relatedfinancialrisk:

i.datadescribingphysicalandtransitionriskdriversneededtotranslateclimateriskdriversintoeconomicriskfactors(ieclimate-adjustedeconomicriskfactors);

ii.datadescribingthevulnerabilityofexposures,linkingclimate-adjustedeconomicriskfactorstoexposures;and

iii.financialexposuredata,neededtotranslateclimate-adjustedeconomicriskintofinancialrisk.13

Specifically,toassessthevulnerabilityofbankexposurestophysicalrisk,authoritieswouldneedinformationsuchasthegeospatiallocationofbanks'counterparties(includingtheirvalueandsupplychains).Fortransitionrisk,abank'sexposuretoacorporatewouldrequireinformationonthesectororeconomicactivitytodeterminehowsensitivethatcorporateistocarbonemissionsinitsproductionanddistributionprocesses.Finally,tofacilitatetheriskassessmentortranslationoftheclimate-relatedriskstofinancialexposures,authoritiesrequiredataonbanks'exposurestocounterparties,bothataportfoliocompositionlevelaswellasatamoregranularloanlevel,toestimatepotentialimpactsoftheseexposures.
