Navigating Nature-Related Risks: Identifying and assessing materiality of nature-related issues and their impact on the risk profile of financial institutions
Globally, financial regulators are increasingly expecting financial institutions to identify risks from climate change and nature loss. Materiality analyses are the base for effective risk management, but uncertainties pose challenges, often leading to nature loss being deemed immaterial. This event is designed to help financial institutions understand regulatory expectations regarding nature-related risk management, enhance their risk identification and management capabilities, and will include an interactive knowledge-sharing section.
Framing this topic
This short section provides context for the event to ensure all participants, regardless of prior knowledge, are equipped to engage with the discussion.
We aim to present and discuss global supervisory expectations related to nature risk identification assessed on our online SUSREG Tracker, and which findings are published in yearly reports. The Sustainable Financial Regulations and Central Bank Activities (SUSREG) Tracker is an interactive online tool developed by WWF´s Greening Financial Regulation Initiative as part of a suite of tools to regularly assess how central banks, financial regulators and supervisors integrate climate, broader environmental and social considerations in their practices.
