As climate change risks increase worldwide, company boards will be critical in ensuring their firms remain resilient and on a path to carbon neutrality. Developed through insights from 50 top financial institutions, this collaborative report from GARP and the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) provides banks with a comprehensive framework for establishing a board-level climate dashboard that can be used to report decision-useful climate information and metrics.
In this paper, GARP Risk Institute highlights the best practices implemented by climate risk management leaders and outlines the steps others can take to join them. The study captures the key dimensions of firms’ climate risk management including governance; strategy for dealing with actual and potential climate risks; metrics, targets, and limits used to assess and manage climate risks and opportunities; and more.

The quality of supervisory stress tests could be significantly improved through international agreement on a common framework.
