Ep. 156: The Supervision of Financial Institutions’ Climate-related Transition Planning

There is an increasing focus on the role of financial institutions in contributing to climate-related change as a result of their financing of the activities of customers and counterparties. A key element in financial institutions’ efforts to limit their contributions to climate-related change is the development of transition plans.

This Toronto Centre Note and accompanying podcast focuses on two types of transition plans: those focused primarily on strengthening financial institutions’ own internal risk management in the face of climate-related change, and those aimed at reducing institutions’ own contributions to such change.
