Sustainability, ESG, and Climate Risk Supervision for Financial Institutions
This course builds supervisory capability for climate and sustainability risk in financial institutions, covering risk transmission, supervisory expectations, climate scenario analysis and stress testing, disclosure review, greenwashing oversight and intervention planning. Participants learn to assess whether institutions manage sustainability risk properly.
Introduction
Sustainability, ESG, and Climate Risk Supervision for Financial Institutions Training Course prepares supervisors, risk officers and bank executives to oversee sustainability risk across the financial system. Participants learn how climate and ESG factors become credit, market, liquidity and operational risk, and how supervisors assess whether institutions manage them. The programme covers supervisory expectations, climate scenario analysis, transition and physical risk assessment, disclosure review, capital and liquidity implications, and governance expectations. Furthermore, it addresses greenwashing supervision, concentration monitoring and cross-border coordination. As a result, delegates can build or evaluate a supervisory framework for climate and ESG risk. Gentex Training Center delivers the programme through analytics workshops and applied supervisory case work.
