Climate Risk, the emerging risk

This episode of the podcast, focusing on climate risk as an emerging regulatory compliance issue, features a dialogue between Len and Dean. They discuss how climate-related risks, especially in the financial sector, have gained attention in recent years. New York State is highlighted for its proactive stance in providing guidance for financial institutions on managing these risks, including a section published on the NYDFS website. Dean emphasizes the lack of specific regulations but notes earlier general principles issued by the OCC regarding climate-related financial risk management. They also delve into the use of data and mapping techniques to assess climate risks at a granular level, stressing the importance of geocoding records and correlating them with climate hazards. The discussion concludes with an emphasis on financial institutions starting to identify and assess climate risks, considering both physical and transition risks, and integrating these into their overall risk management frameworks. The episode promotes their consulting services for assisting institutions in managing climate risks.
