04/26/2018 - Together, 16 banks, the United Nations, business consultants and scientists produced first guidance to help the financial industry become more transparent on climate-related risks and opportunities. The report they jointly published, entitled “Extending our horizons”, is based on economic scenarios provided by the Potsdam Instititute for Climate Impact Research, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, and the International Energy Agency. The innovative methodology will support banks to implement the ground-breaking recommendations of the Financial Stability Board’s Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (FSB TCFD). It focuses on changes that the transition to a low-carbon economy will present to businesses. A complementary report on the physical impacts of climate change for businesses is planned for release in late June.
"Two-degree scenarios describe a new world - a world with CO2-free energy production and land use that takes up CO2 from the atmosphere instead of releasing it,” says Elmar Kriegler, senior scientist at the Potsdam-Institute for Climate Impact Research, who contributed to the report. “In the Paris Agreement, almost all governments worldwide decided to limit global warming to less than two degrees Celsius in order to stabilize our climate. It is therefore extremely important that banks and companies can take into account the possibility of this two-degree world in their investment decisions. Only those who see the possibilities can adjust their expectations for the future - and thus make this future possible. We are pleased to be able to offer the scientific basis for this together with the UN, the banks and other researchers. We have computed the risks and opportunities. Now it is up to the financial sector to use this. Big money also means big responsibilities."
