Background
The Climate Risk team is a specialist second-line function of strategic importance, established to advance the Bank’s institutional objectives on climate risk and contribute to the delivery of its broader green ambition. The Climate Risk team has a central role in shaping and embedding the Bank’s strategic direction on climate-related financial risks, ensuring these are integrated into the Bank’s activities, risk culture, and decision-making frameworks. In addition to its oversight responsibilities, the team helps guide the Bank’s broader positioning on climate and green finance.
While currently focused on financially material climate risks, the team is well-positioned to support the Bank’s evolving quantified approach to broader environmental and social topics—such as nature, pollution, and social factors—as relevant metrics and frameworks mature.
Within its mandate key areas of the climate risk team include:
Establish and refine climate risk methodologies and frameworks, ensuring alignment with industry best practices and evolving regulatory standards including maintenance and the monitoring of their application throughout the Bank.
Define and implement the governance structures for climate-related financial risk assessments, supporting robust oversight and accountability.
Oversee the integration of climate risk considerations across project appraisal, portfolio management, and enterprise risk governance processes. Including establishing controls to ensure appropriateness of decisions.
Deliver scenario analysis and climate stress testing, providing strategic insights to inform portfolio-level and institutional decision-making. Stress testing deliver forward-looking insights that inform on portfolio resilience, strategic planning, and risk-adjusted business decisions.
Prepare climate-related financial disclosures, ensuring consistency with regulatory requirements such as the ISSB and other global reporting frameworks.
Drive internal and external capacity building, including engagement with regulators, multilateral development banks, and peer institutions to advance climate risk understanding and collaboration. The team advises internal stakeholders through presentations to risk committees and to Board via the Audit and Risk Committee (ARC).
Ensure the collection, management, and maintenance of climate-relevant data, enabling data-driven strategy development and decision-making across the Bank
