PRA review finds that 70% of banks recognise that climate change poses financial risks
September 26, 2018--In its review published today, the PRA examines how climate change poses financial risks to banks and how banks are responding.
A survey of 90% of the UK banking sector representing over £11trn in assets found that 70% of banks recognise that climate change poses financial risks.
These firms have begun considering the most immediate physical risks to their business models – for example the exposure to mortgages on homes that are at risk of flooding, or the exposure of their investment in countries that could be impacted by extreme weather events. And they have started to assess how the transition to a low-carbon economy, driven for example by government policy and technological change, may impact the business models of the companies that banks are exposed to. Only 10% manage these risks comprehensively and take a long-term strategic view of the risks. 30% of banks still only consider climate change as a corporate social responsibility issue.
