Understanding ESG in the Banking Industry

Surface temperature on the Earth have risen at a record pace in recent decades, creating risks to life, ecosystems, and economies. Climate science warns us that further warming is unavoidable over the next decade, and probably after that as well. Climate change poses a real threat and a huge risk to banks as key providers of finance for commerce and industry.

Climate change is putting banks at risk. This risk is being driven by two requirements facing the banking sector:

• Banks need to manage their own financial exposures, and these exposures are at risk because of climate change.  
• Banks are being driven by regulatory pressure to help finance a green agenda, a process that is critical to temper the impact of global warming. 
  

This course examines the outlined problems that banks are facing and provides practical guidance to assist them in complying with ESG requirements.
