The supervisory statement:

  • describes the transmission channels through which climate-related risks can arise and the characteristics of these risks which, when considered together, present unique challenges and require a strategic management approach;
  • sets out the implementation of the expectations, including the PRA’s approach to the proportionate application of the expectations by firms;
  • covers supervisory expectations related to governance, risk management, climate scenario analysis, data, and disclosures; and
    provides additional context for banking and insurance specific issues.
