About the event
In partnership with the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), UNEP FI’s TCFD Programme has released two new reports designed to help financial actors manage climate risks and support client transitions to net-zero. This launch event will cover the key takeaways from the recently released reports. Experts from UNEP FI and CISL will provide guidance on principles for integrated assessment of physical and transition risks with sector-specific examples, as well as discuss best practices and recommendations for climate-related assessments with clients. The event will also feature a panel discussion with financial institutions on leading strategies for client engagement. Descriptions and links of the newly launched reports can be found below.
