    Prudential Transition Plans as Enablers of a Sustainable Future with Frank Elderson

    In the latest episode of Financing the Future, we speak to Frank Elderson, Member of the Executive Board of the European Central Bank to discuss how prudential transition plans can help banks mobilize finance towards the transition, how banks can tackle physical risks going forward, how nature-related risks are being addressed and what is to come next. Frank discusses how ECB banking supervision has worked intensively with the sector to improve preparedness to manage climate and nature-related risk, addresses what banks are doing well and where more progress in needed. He dives deep into prudential transition plans against the backdrop of the green transition and EU competitiveness, and how financing the gap for transition technologies could help meet the EU’s climate objectives.

    Addressing climate risks and adaptation through insurance with Lesley Ndlovu, CEO of Africa Risk Capacity

    Extreme weather events are rapidly increasing in frequency and intensity due to the effects of climate change, making it difficult for insurance companies to manage rising risks and costs. Insurers are now left with no choice but to find ways to weather the storm. In the second episode of UNEP FI’s new podcast series Financing the future, we speak to Lesley Ndlovu, CEO of Africa Risk Capacity (ARC) and member of UNEP FI’s Leadership Council about how Africa is being affected by climate change, ways to manage climate risks and costs, and the role of insurers and the wider finance community in financing adaptation for a resilient future.
