Financial Instruments Sustainability Reporting and Climate Risk Disclosures for Central Banks
A five-day programme for central bank reporting teams on sustainability and climate disclosure, covering materiality assessment, climate scenario analysis, emissions measurement, transition planning, governance, controls, and assurance readiness.
Introduction
The Financial Instruments Sustainability Reporting and Climate Risk Disclosures for Central Banks Training Course prepares central bank reporting teams to disclose sustainability and climate information alongside their financial statements. Securities portfolios carry climate exposure, and stakeholders now expect institutions to explain that exposure clearly. This course links financial instrument reporting with sustainability and climate disclosure practice. It covers materiality assessment, governance pillars, and emissions measurement. Furthermore, it addresses scenario analysis, transition planning, and data limitations. As a result, participants learn to build disclosures that are consistent, comparable, and supported by evidence rather than ambition.
