Climate Change Analysis and Research
About this learning event
This workshop is a continuation of last year’s event on Introducing climate change and green transition into macroeconomic analysis. The workshop will start with Clim'Up, a collaborative card game developed by the Banque de France to raise awareness and train central bankers and financial supervisors on the challenges of climate change and its impact on their activities. Next, the workshop will expand the scope to include institutional approaches to climate change analysis, with a particular focus on the needs of central banks, financial supervisory authorities, and policymakers. Additionally, the workshop will present the concept of nature-related financial risks, how these relate to climate risks, and what they mean for the macroeconomy and financial stability. Participants will explore cutting-edge approaches to data collection, scenario analysis, accounting frameworks, and climate-related financial disclosures. The event will also showcase how different jurisdictions are integrating climate considerations into policy analysis, decision-making frameworks. Participants will have the opportunity to:
- Gain exposure to international best practices in climate data, modelling, and financial reporting.
- Discuss the climate and environmental requirements for EU accession countries, highlighting how alignment with EU standards supports both accession and sustainable finance agendas.
- A hands-on example of stress testing for transition risks, using real-world scenarios to assess the impact of climate policy shifts on the banking sector and broader macroeconomic stability.
- Explore the role of supervisory authorities in relation to transition planning – and how mandates may need to adapt to accommodate this work.
- Become familiar with the concept of nature-related financial risks, how these fit within central banks’ mandate, and how central banks are trying to measure these.
Who should attend
This workshop is intended for professionals from central banks, financial supervisory authorities, ministries of finance and environment, and economic research institutes—particularly those from Eastern Europe and other emerging and developing economies. It is especially valuable for analysts and researchers working on macroeconomic policy, financial stability, climate risk assessment, or sustainable finance.
