John is currently leading our project team assisting the United Nations Environment Programme – Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) and a Working Group of 16 leading banks to develop a framework to assess and disclose climate-related risk factors. Ìý
The translation of climate risk factors into prospective financial performance is less understood than more traditional risk types in financial services.
