Launch of the Technical document on nature-related scenarios – 13 December 2023 at 1:30pm

The NGFS is organising a launch event for the publication of its technical document on nature-related scenarios as part of the GFRA conference.

The Green Finance Research Advances (GFRA) is an international research conference for academics and professionals, co-organized by Banque de France and the Institut Louis Bachelier, with the participation of the Institut de la Finance Durable and the Institute for Climate Economics-I4CE. The objective of this conference is to bring together academics, finance practitioners and regulators, to discuss together research issues related to the integration of climate-related, nature-related and transition-related risks into macro-economic modelling/forecasting and into the risk assessment of the financial sector. For more information on the GFRA, you can refer to the link here.

The NGFS technical document on nature-related scenarios aims at providing central banks and supervisors with Recommendations toward the development of scenarios for assessing nature-related economic and financial risks. Drawing on the contributions of commissioned academics and experts, the document envisions consistent narratives through which different nature-related hazards be identified; explores methods and tools through which the impacts of these hazards and the ability to mitigate them can be assessed; and provides a list of options for central banks and supervisors to move forward with the development of nature-related scenarios, both in the short term and in the longer term.

Further to the launch, the GFRA conference will dedicate the afternoon of the 13^th of December to discuss nature-related issues and present some of the latest research on the topic. In conjunction with the presentation of the NGFS publication, and there will also be a panel discussion on nature scenarios. Please refer to the detailed agenda here.
