MSCI In Practice: Banking Edition

Navigating Climate Risk & Regulatory Expectations

Climate and nature risks are reshaping how banks assess credit quality, manage capital and meet supervisory expectations. With regulatory pressure mounting across the UK, EU, Canada, Asia Pacific and beyond, banks have established stronger governance and internal policies. However, practical tools and decision-useful data are still critical to moving from awareness to action.

Join our guest speaker, Maheen Arshad (UNEP FI) and MSCI experts to explore how the industry is bridging climate and credit risk and for a practical walkthrough of how banks can embed climate and nature risk into core risk and capital processes. 

In this session, we will cover:

• Guest keynote from Maheen Arshad, UNEP FI: findings from UNEP FI's work on climate and credit risk approaches in banking, and what leading institutions are doing in practice

• From climate risk to credit risk: a walkthrough of how banks can integrate climate risk into credit frameworks, including using corporate asset locations to assess physical risk exposures, that matter most for decision making

• Nature risk: integrating nature-related dependencies and impacts alongside climate risk, and what this means for risk teams in practice

• Comprehensive portfolio coverage: how to operationalise climate risk analysis at scale, with demonstrations of how data can feed into portfolio and counterparty-level decision-making
