Financial and corporate sentiment has tipped with growing regulatory, investor and wider pressures on climate and FOMA on future market developments, trends and opportunities. What is less well known is the role that policymakers and regulators see for the financial sector as stewards of the whole economy, net zero resilient transition. Updated risk frameworks and the reinterpretation of mandates in a Climate Emergency will provide the means to shape the dynamics of credit, investment, insurance markets and regulatory capital to align with current and future climate risks. This climate-energy / risk-sustainability system reset offers opportunities and disruption for incumbents and new entrants. In 2012-2015 Rowan was involved in the early stages of what has become mainstream climate stress testing, disclosure and TCFD, in this seminar he will look ahead to how the next chapter may unfold to 2030 and beyond.
