NGFS new strategy for 2026-2027: From Principles to Practice

The Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) publishes its new strategy for 2026-2027: From Principles to Practice. 

The macroeconomic consequences of climate change and nature loss, and their implications for the financial system resilience, are undeniable. The frequency and severity of climate events are rising: annual global direct damages from weather disasters more than doubled since the early 2000s. At the same time, transition pathways are losing momentum in several juridisctions and diverging across countries. 

Against this backdrop, the NGFS new strategy is built around a clear objective: to maximise the effectiveness and impact of the NGFS work for members and the broader financial community. To achieve this, the Network will focus on three strategic priorities:

• Remaining a technical incubator for innovative work on climate and nature-related risks, with an emphasis on physical risks, adaptation and nature-related risks;
• Strengthening its role as a center of expertise on climate scenarios, enhancing both long-term and short-term scenarios and supporting their practical implementation;
• Building capacity and supporting implementation, helping members translate technical work into operational tools.
