Executive Panel: Nature-Related Risks, Macroeconomic Impacts, and Transition Planning

Central banks and supervisors need to consider climate change and biodiversity loss, which are interconnected and mutually reinforcing. Looking ahead, dealing with nature-related risks may also involve transition plans. Transition plans are crucial to credible implementation.

The panel discussed:

  • how central banks and supervisors should adjust to better capture climate-related impacts;
  • the effects of tighter monetary policy on climate investments in industrialized economies and their implications for emerging markets and developing economies; and,
