Most importantly: o Physical risks that have the pottential to trigger financial and macro economic instability o Transition risks which arise from unexpected tightening of carbon emissions Article provides options for sector and regulators on how to deal with these risks. o Disclosure o Stresstesting 2
3 Overview What is the strength of this paper? Relevance Paper is consistent with work from a.o.: Multilateral innitiatives, such as FSB TCFD, G20 Green Finance Study Group Central Banks Financial sector Overarching view and focus on interlinkages Paper provides easy accasible overview of the topic, including relevant literature Interlinkages between banks and insturers are explored Discussion on policy options Exploration of benefits and limits of regulatory and policy options, particularly stress testing and disclosure 3
4 Risk drivers Comments structure From a conceptual point of view this paper might benefit from a division between risk drivers and financial risks Framework paper Alternative framework Physical Financial risk Business Credit Market Legal / liability Transition Physical Liability Transition Source: G20 GFSG Synthesis report 4
5 Risk drivers Comments physical risk Article could pay more attention to physical market risks run by investors Market risks is mentioned (fig 2) But lacks elaboration Climate linked natural disaster Financial risk Business Credit Market Legal / liability Increased uncertainty for investors Physical Asset fire sales Transition Source: G20 GFSG Synthesis report 5

8 Comments on tools and measures for mitigating risks Considerations on disclosure, stress testing and prudential measures Stress testing & data Authors raise lack of sufficient data on relevant exposures (bonds, credit) Our experience is that it is possible to gain more insights into these exposures Disclosure Are there negative sides to more disclosure on this topic? Prudential policies Section discusses the effects of prudential policies as a way to mitigate climate change. Wouldn t that fit better together with the discussions on stress testing and disclosure as a way to mittigate transition risk? 8
