Climate change creates risks that impact individual firms, but it can also jeopardise the stability of the financial system as a whole. This is why the Bank of England is helping market participants manage financial risks from climate change, announcing supervisory expectations for banks and insurers to manage these risks, and establishing the Climate Financial Risk Forum, with the aim of building expertise and sharing best practices.
