#ClimateChange and geopolitical tensions increasingly interact, compounding risks that can amplify shocks to banks and financial stability.
Martina Menegat and @apsmolenska.bsky.social @granthamlse.bsky.social explain why banks should embrace tools developed for climate risks on @lsebr.bsky.social
The upheaval in US monetary and climate policy has opened a strategic window for Europe. With its leadership in sustainable finance, regulatory clarity and the European Central Bank’s integration of climate considerations, the EU is well placed to position the euro as the world’s leading green currency. Global demand for euro-denominated green debt and environmental, social and governance (ESG) investments is already rising. A new Böll EU Brief by Agnieszka Smoleńska & Jens van ‘t Klooster examines how ‘green internationalisation’ could strengthen Europe’s strategic autonomy, reduce vulnerability to external shocks and anchor global clean-energy finance. It sets out a practical roadmap for EU policy-makers to align ambition with action and seize this ‘euro moment’: https://eu.boell.org/en/green-euro-rising

Our new CETEx report looks into how EU banks are managing climate litigation risks. Key findings: banks already identify CL risks as material but underestimate physical risk related & transition management litigation, as well as systemic effects of court cases.

With bank transition plans increasingly coming under microprudential scrutiny, could they help identify & address financial instability risks along the transition as well?
Highly recommend watching this discussion with great insights from P Hiebert (ECB), M Nieto (Bank of Spain) & J Berkey (UBS)!
If EU is serious about improving regulatory efficiency, it should seek to consistently interpret & enforce 'greening' rules rather that blindly cut red tape.
EBA's take on ESG risk management is an example to follow, as I argue in this @granthamlse.bsky.social/CETEx blog: cetex.org/publications...
