FINANCE FOR IMPACT is proud to announce that it has been selected by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the Global Center on Adaptation (GCA) to develop a specialized technical guidance and training module on climate risk modeling for financial institutions.
As climate change increasingly reshapes risk landscapes, the ability to model and manage climate risks has become critical for financial stability and resilience. Building on our deep expertise in climate finance, data-driven analytics, and capacity development, FINANCE FOR IMPACT will design a comprehensive, forward-looking curriculum that equips financial actors with the tools and methodologies to assess physical and transition risks in their portfolios.
The training module will cover a range of modeling approaches—statistical, deterministic, probabilistic, geospatial, sector-specific, and integrated climate-economic models—aligned with leading global standards such as the NGFS, TCFD, and ISSB frameworks. It will also emphasize practical application, offering participants hands-on guidance on integrating climate risk outputs into credit analysis, underwriting, investment screening, and strategic planning.
This assignment is part of a broader effort by EBRD and GCA to scale up climate resilience across emerging markets, strengthening financial sector capacities to anticipate, measure, and adapt to climate-related risks. The training materials are expected to be launched later this year, and will be made available to financial institutions across EBRD’s regions of operation.
