2 Key Financial Players make up the CCWG Members Institutions 2006: Allianz/Dresdner Aviva AXA Bank of America Calvert Group DBJ Garant HSBC Insurance Australia Group JBIC Munich Re Santander Group SAM Swiss Re UBS Wachovia
3 UNEP FI and the UNFCCC Negotiations COP 8, New Delhi, 2002: COP 9, Milan, 2003: Climate Risk to Global Economy Emissions Trading COP 10, Buenos Aires, 2004: Finance for Carbon Solutions - The CDM COP 11, Montreal, 2005: COP 12, Nairobi, 2006: The Future of Climate Policy Adaptation and Vulnerability
4 UNEP FI and Climate Change Climate Risk Emissions Trading Renewable Energy Finance for Carbon Solutions- The CDM The Future of Climate Policy
5 Adaptation and vulnerability to climate change: What does it mean for the banking sector, and does it have a role to play?
6 Climate Change: Impacts on Finance and Business Climate risks have a direct impact on insurance and reinsurance companies (NatCat Risk) Climate risks are still not a major concern for a majority of the banking sector Sector Risks For the banking sector - with the exception of operational risks in catastrophic accidents - the risks are indirect Banks are concerned via the risk exposures of their customers (see Box)
7 Climate Change: Impacts on Finance and Business Vulnerability of customers is the risk of the bank Vulnerability of customers must be assessed
8 Key Climate impacts: Risks for the banking sector Sector Corporate banking Project Finance Threat Uninsured damage to assets Investment banking Retail Banking Higher costs due to extreme weather e.g. utilities Customer defaults due to climatic extremes
9 Adaptation for the banking sector is the need to develop and take advantage of all business opportunities related to climate change!
10 Key Climate Impacts: Opportunities for the banking sector Sector Retail Banking Corporate Banking, Project Finance Investment Banking Real Estate Micro Finance, Green buildings Opportunity Access to public aid programs, Finance for climate resilient purposes Adaptation of: infrastructure projects, renewable energies projects, energy efficiency projects Weather derivatives, Emissions trading, Commodity trading
11 Allianz Dresdner Bank Approach (1/2) Risk & Business Opportunities Climate change could result in an accumulation of risks across the entire business spectrum But: climate change is also a business case. Challenges and initiatives: Integrate the related risks in our risk management Identify and develop new business opportunities related to climate change Foster synergies among the business units of Allianz Group All three initiatives impact bottom-line results positively
12 Allianz Dresdner Bank Approach (2/2) Fostering Synergies for Adaptation Implications for RE financial activities: Dresdner Kleinwort (Securitisation) Allianz Centre for Technology (Due Diligence) Renewable Energies Allianz (Insurance) Dresdner Bank (Financing) Allianz Capital Partners (Investments) Increase the potential of Corporate Bank related RE projects and develop origination strategies Assess the option of developing combined RE credit financing and insurance products (e.g. for biomass/ biogas plants and wind power) Refinancing of project loans to wind farms through capital market transactions Roll-out for Emerging Markets
13 Key recommendations: Potential role of finance sector New products and customer services should be developed and existing ones must be adjusted and optimised Business cases should be rolled-out and opportunities for co-operation - with emerging and developing countries - should be identified Business know-how of key financial players should be in the public domain Market experience and barriers should be discussed with the public and other stakeholders
