About this learning event

This workshop aims to strengthen participants’ analytical capacities while providing valuable insights to monetary policymakers and financial stability officials to make informed decisions. As climate and nature-related risks represent a new type of systemic threat, understanding their financial implications is crucial. These risks can create significant financial disruptions for institutions and have lasting, potentially irreversible impacts.

Climate change and green transition can pose far-reaching macroeconomic consequences, affecting key sectors such as agriculture, energy, transportation and public health. Beyond potential direct physical damage, they generate transition risks such as stranded fossil fuel assets, labour market disruption, and inflationary pressures from carbon pricing, as well as systemic financial risks that can destabilize banking systems and insurance markets. These compounding risks threaten long-term growth, fiscal stability and development prospects.

This event is a continuation of the CEF's event on Climate Change Analysis and Research delivered in 2025.

Who should attend

The workshop is designed for analysts and researchers from central banks (macroeconomic analysis, research, financial stability, prudential supervision), ministries of finance (macro-fiscal, budget, fiscal risks management units), ministries of the environment (policy planning/implementation units), as well as other public institutions working in this area.
