Q

Credit Risk - Micro level risks

A

Transition Risks: Asset stranding could worse a firm’s Financial position (higher PD and LGD for a lender given decrease in asset valuations)

Physical Risks: lead to loss of revenue and profits - worsening firm’s Financial position and increasing PD

Q

Bid-ask spread

A

Difference between highest price a buyer is willing to pay for an asset (bid price) and lowest price a seller is willing to accept for that same asset (offer/ask price)
ex: trading stocks, bonds, currencies

Q

liquidity risk - micro level

A

Both TR and PR can prompt sharp repricing and sudden market re-evaluation of firm’s viability, leading to liquidity shock therefore leading to widening of bid-ask spreads

ex: abrupt climate event can prompt large demand for deposit withdrawals at banks, leading to increase in load-to-deposit reatios

Q

Underwriting risks - micro level

A

TR: lead to decrease in insurance availability, as some insurers refuse to underwrite certain kinds of activities and facilities

PR: lead to increase in insurance premiums for corporations or certain facilities in vulnerable areas to become uninsurable

Q

Market risks metrics

A
  1. Weighted Average Carbon Intensity
  2. Climate Value at Risk
  3. Portfolio Risk scores
20
Q

Climate Value at Risk (Cl. VaR)

A

Risk assessment tool that quantifies potential financial losses a company or portfolio could incur due to climate change

21
Q

Market Risk - micro level

A

Both PR and TR can become more widely incorporated in asset prices (through abrupt pricing and more gradual changes)

Large scale shifts in input and product markets affect non financial corporations.

Shifts in asset price increases risk of FI portfolios

22
Q

Market Risk - macro level

A

Significant - climate risk is expected to produce sector and market wide repricing of many assets and commodities therefore causing dislocation and system risk

23
Q

Sovereign risk metrics

A
  1. proportion of budget revenues from fossil fuels
  2. vulnerability to physical climate risks
24
Q

Sovereign risks - micro level

A

PR: can cause countries that are particularly vulnerable to have higher costs of damage and lower GDP growth

TR: heavily affect countries reliant on fossil fuel production for a substantial proportion of GDP and government tax revenue

25
Q

Sovereign risk - macro level

A

Many countries have diversified economies and geographies, but some countries are heavily exposed to PR and TR and likely to be severely affected

26
Q

Operational Risk

A

Risk in doing business

27
Q

Credit Risk

A

Ability borrower has to pay back a loan

28
Q

Liquidity Risk

A

Ability to easily convert assets into cash

29
Q

Underwriting Risk

A

Ability for insurers to insure

30
Q

Important transmission channel that leads to credit risk

A

operational risk

climate change - leads to operational risk - leads to credit risk

ex: climate risk causes raw materials to become more expensive, makes products decrease in value

31
Q

To properly assess Transition Risk

A

a. multiple types of data
b. appropriate analytical tools to understand application to user’s needs
c. accurate asset level and company level data on GHG emission
d. data on policy landscapes, technological changes and consumer preferences

32
Q

To properly assess Physical Risk

A

a. data on current and future physical hazards (historical data + climate models)
b. topographical data
c. locational data of assets
d. info on vulnerabilites and adaptive capacities

33
Q

Weighted average carbon intensity

A

tons of CO2 equivalent / million USD

where “tons of Co2 equivalent” is = money invested; and /mill USD is mill USD of revenue

34
Q

ERM approach

A
  1. Governance and Culture
  2. Strategy and Objective setting
  3. Performance
  4. Review and revision
  5. Info, communication and reporting
35
Q

Governance and culture

A

Board and senior executives - understanding and diffusion of climate knowledge

36
Q

Strategy and objective setting

A

high level decisions on organization’s prioritization and missions

  1. SWOT Strength, weakness, opportunities, threats)
  2. impact and dependency mapping (stock and flow in terms of capital)
  3. materiality assessment (SASB framework)
37
Q

Performance

A
  1. risk identification - examine transmission channels of climate risk drivers in f risk (what are most relevant for particular orgs)
  2. risk assessment and prioritization (gather data on scope of these risks - i.e. portfolio level analysis ; rank risks based on what will be most impacted and what is most important (profit, revenue, asset valuation)
  3. implementation of risk response (1.acceptance (accepting impact and not taking action); 2.avoidance (removing risk completely and anythin related to it (ex: refusal to invest in FF); 3. pursuit (converting risks into opportunities); 4.reduction (improvement in processes, systems, strategies); 5.sharing (collaboration as risk mitigation strategy))
38
Q

Review and revision

A

reassess risks in light of changes and analyze effectiveness of ERM processes

39
Q

info, communication and reporting

A

communication to board, senior managers, external stakeholders (investors, suppliers, employees, regulators, public)

40
Q

Which risk has only limited potential for systemic impact on F stability

A

operational risk

41
Q

what is not an important climate risk transmission channel

A

physical risk leads to damage and supply chain disruption, increasing market wide liquidity risk

42
Q

what are key shortcomings of physical risk scores

A
  1. incorporate multiple hazards, but methods that they are calculated are in black box
  2. normalization of raw data means physical risk scores are only relative, not absolute
43
Q

Transition risks

A
  1. policy regulation
  2. technology development
  3. consumer preferences
44
Q

Physical risks

A
  1. Chronic (temperature, precipitation, sea levels)
  2. Acute (heatwaves, floods, wildfires)
45
Q

SASB

A

Sustainability Accounting Standards Board -

  1. materiality
  2. indsutry specific
  3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure:
