Banks are increasingly having to prepare for the risks that climate change will bring. For central banks in particular, stress tests have become integral to predicting what the future holds for their assets. Modelling climate risks allows banks to drive understanding of current and future risk from extreme events. In this pathway, Tony Hughes will discuss the macroeconomic and microeconomic risk to bank safety from climate-related risk. Professor Robert Engles Ph.D. discusses how we can construct a climate hedge portfolio and use this portfolio to stress test banks.In this pathway, Tony Hughes will discuss the macroeconomic and microeconomic risk to bank safety from climate-related risk.

In this video collaboration with MMF, Nobel Laureate and economist Robert Engle introduces climate financial risks - from the biggest financial shocks we have seen historically to how we measure different risk factors when they arise simultaneously. Robert explores how we can prepare for these different scenarios using four different investor goals, all accounting for climate change.

In this video collaboration with MMF, Nobel Laureate and economist Robert Engle outlines how to construct a climate hedge portfolio using two strategies and explores why it's not that easy to hedge physical risks.

In this video collaboration between the MMF, Grant Thornton, Finance and Sustainability Unlocked, Tony Hughes, expert risk modeller and data scientist outlines the link impact of climate change on the financial system. In the second video in his two-part series, Tony outlines why financial costs have been muted so far, pointing to the predictability of climate impact, which leads to closer preparedness from firms and investors.
