Q

True or false

The potential for climate risks to cause systemic/financial credit risk is significant

A

True

Sector-wide asset stranding or changes in demand can affect the sector’s revenue and overall probability of default, causing financial stability risks for the sectors and the exposed FIs

Q

True or false

The potential for climate risks to cause systemic/financial liquidity risks is insignificant

A

False

The risk for climate risks to affect macroeconomic liquidity is extremely significant as a climate Minsky moment could cause abrupt and wide enough repricing and dislocation to recover from the market liquidity shock.

Remember that a climate Minsky moment refers to when there is a disorderly transition, caused by a rapid adjustment of assets, which has signficant financial impacts

Credit risk can be reduced by pricing effects

A

True

Although it is easy to see how climate risks can cause materials to become more expensive/ less valuable :. increase credit risk, pricing effects can also have the opposite effect and reduce the company’s credit risk

Eg: companies in the mining sector that extract minerals for mass electrification will benefit from the higher prices of these commodities and will be able to earn more profits :. becoming more creditworthy

Q

True or false

Climate risk drivers can prompt depositers to draw down less deposits as debtors draw down credit lines at the same time, affecting the loan-to-deposit ratio

A

False

Climate risk drivers can prompt depositers to draw down more deposits as there is a precuationary dmand for more liquidtiy by financial institutions and households. Because debtors are also drawing down credit lines at the same time, the loan-to-depsit ratio increases

A non-FI is only affected liquidity risk that manifests as a consequence of cliamte risks under very specific circumstances

A

True

It typically happens after an acute physical risk, like a natural disaster, and they need access to more liquidty to finance their recovery and other cash flow needs, resulting in the crystallised liquidity risks for the bank

Q

Why are climate risks particularly challenging for the insurance sector?

A

Because the concentration of assets can result in underwriting losses to facilities in areas that are no longer economically viable, like buildings in low-lying coastal regions

Additionally, there is likely a shorter return period than is expected :. insurance companies may need to dish out more insurance to people who have suffered loss more regularly

Q

What is the definition of underwriting risk?

A

The risk incurred due to the inability to access sufficient insurance coverage

35
Q

In what way can climate transition risk affect underwriting risk?
1. The highly concentrated nature of facilities and infrastructure can result in more underwriting damages
2. The increasing frequency of climate-related events means that the insurance companies requires very high premiums
3. The changing policy, operational and technological landscape required could cause litigation against emissions-intensive industries
4. Firms are more likely to refuse renewals to homeowners in hard-hit areas that have been exposed to climate-exacerbated disasters

A

(3) The changing policy, operational and technological landscape required could cause litigation against emissions-intensive industries

36
Q

True or false

Underwriting risk can increase other types of risk. An example of this would be that a company is no longer able to obtain insurance coerage for physical damage, business interruption, or director’s liability. This means that they can’t use insurance as one of the buffer mechanisms, which exposes the company to operational risk, and in turn credit risk for the lender

A

True

37
Q

True or flase

The various risks (eg: credit, liquidity, operational, insurance) do not pose a systemic risk or pose a threat to financial stability

A

False

Generally they mostly have microeconomic effects, but if they occur widely enough, whole sectors can be affected, causing a systemic isues.

38
Q

  2. Pinch points in supply chains
40
Q

What is the definition of a “climate Minsky moment”?

A

A sudden, major collapse of asset values caused by the sudden and disorderly transition

Results in the massive repricing of assets and the procyclical crystallisation of losses, causing a liquidity crunch

41
Q

1. Significantly increasing premiums
2. Completely withdrawing coverage of certain climate-related risks
3. Revaluing assets in vulnerable regions

42
Q

Which of these channels are NOT ways that climate risk translates into macroeconomic market risks?
1. Repricing of assets
2. Dislocation effects
3. Changing societal sentiments
4. Asset stranding

A

(3) Changing societal sentiments

Changing societal sentiments would largely be a transition risk.
* Repricing effect can make physical and transition risks move more quickly to impact asset prices

43
Q

What is a key metric to gauge macroeconomic market risk?

Really complicated equation

A

Climate Value at Risk

REMEMBER VaR refers to the extent of potential financial losses within a firm, portfolio, or position, giving an estimate of the bad outcome

44
Q

What other metric can be used by individual institutions to gauge their own exposure to climate-related market risk?

Your beloathed equation

A

Weighted Average Carbon Intensity (WACI) of a portfolio

REMEMBER this looks at the level of exposure that the portfolio is at risk of due to carbon-intensive companies

45
Q

True or false

Climate risk has not been priced into many asset classes

A

True

Basel Committee on Banking Supervision reported that there is empirical evidence to show that climate risks haven’t been priced into mnay asset classes, even if the evidence is slightly mixed

46
Q

True or false

By incorporating climate risk into asset prices, it may also still increase the threat to financial stability

A

True

This is because it might demonstrate that risks are concentrated in certain parts of the economy, and may end up triggering amplifying behaviours from other FIs

47
Q

What was the PRI’s “Inevitable Policy Response” and how does it result in market risk?

A

The assumption that governments and firms will have to transition in a more rapid, abrupt and disorderly way as the realities of climate change become more apparent. This could trigger repricing on a much larger scale

48
Q

Give 5 examples

How do you gauge the transmission of physical risk into sovereign risk on a macroeconomic scale?

A
  1. Geographical exposure
  2. Size and sectoral composition of their economy
  3. Capacity to create adapative policies and responses to climate change
  4. Debt accessibility and affordability
  5. Specific policy decisions
49
Q

What transition risk affects sovereign risk on a macroeconomic scale?
1. The presence of policies and regulations which hinder transition
2. The overall sentiment of the local market
3. The changes in the supply and demand of goods that foster the transition
4. The countries’ reliance on fossil fuels and other carbon-intensive exports

Ties back to “stranded nations”

A

(4) Countries’ reliance on fossil fuel and other carbon-intensive exports

As tighter climate policies and technologies emerge, this may resul tin a reduced demand of fossil fuels, leaving countries that had once relied heavily on fossil fuel exports as “stranded nations”

50
Q

What is a shortcoming of using company-level carbon emissions data to gauge transition risk?

Taking it at face value

A

Most of data comes from self reports and are not audited, meaning that they can vary in breadth and detail

51
Q

Give 2

What are other ways that transition risk can be gauged at a company level, without needing to rely on self-reporting?

Alignment, scores

A
  1. Corporate alignment with opt-in initiatives
  2. Temperature scores

  1. opt-in initiatives such as SBTi or external parties like the Transition Pathway Initiative
  2. Temperature scores to indicate what level of warming the company is most aligned with
52
Q

True or false

Company or asset-level physical risk data and scores are the most interpretable

A

True

PTN: Although they are the most interpretable, only some of the free datasets offer a high level of geographic precision and its output is fairly unrefiend. This can make it harder to have facility-level informationi

53
Q

What is a downside of using company-level scores to gauge physical risk at a company level?
1. By combining different proprietary methodologies of downscaling with climate model data, it gives an overall sense of the physical risk but not in sufficient detail
2. The methods used to calculate these company-level scores are kept from investors who purchase the scores
3. It is hard to disseminate and communicate to others, due to the technicality of the model
4. It has a low accuracy

A

(2) The methods used to calculate these company-level scores are kept from investors who purchase the scores

Other drawbacks include:
* Different scores will include different hazards, different methodologies, compiled internally by different financial firms :. may not be comparable with each other

54
Q

Which of these analysis are most relevant for investors and lendors?
1. Asset level
2. Firm level
3. Portfolio level

  2. Expressed in tons CO2e/USD mil revenue
56
Q

True or false

Aggregating and evaluating portfolio level physical risk is relatively easy for equity and bond portfolios

A

False

This is because exposure could impact the entire company, their facilities, and even their supply chains
