ABSTRACT

Several major economies have already committed to achieving a carbon-neutral economy by 2050, in accordance with the Paris Agreement. The banking system in all countries has a key role to play in supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy, and academia has been researching the prudential regulation tools that will enable the incorporation of climate risk management into banking. However, no studies to date have attempted to systematize research on Climate-related Prudential Regulation Tools. This study conducts a systematic review of the English-language peer-reviewed literature produced on this topic in the period since the 2007–2008 financial crisis, revealing the state of the art and the research gaps. The thematic synthesis carried out in this study shows the experience of some countries in the implementation of these tools and the advancement of academic knowledge in this field. These findings can serve as a reference for the further development of a harmonized international framework to address climate risk in banking.

摘要

根据《巴黎协定》，几个主要经济体已承诺到 2050 年实现碳中和经济。所有国家的银行体系在支持向低碳经济转型方面都可以发挥关键作用，学术界一直在研究审慎监管工具，以便将气候风险管理纳入银行业。然而，迄今为止还没有研究试图将气候相关审慎监管工具的研究系统化。本研究对 2007 年至 2008 年金融危机以来有关该主题的英文同行评审文献进行了系统回顾，揭示了最新技术水平和研究差距。本研究进行的主题综合展示了一些国家在实施这些工具方面的经验以及该领域学术知识的进步。这些发现可以为进一步制定统一的国际框架以应对银行业气候风险提供参考。
