At the webinar, we will take a closer look at some of the different practices of central banks and other authorities conducting such stress tests as well as on how banks can themselves assess climate risks to their activities.

After the general presentation on latest developments, participants will be able to learn on recent ECB practice as well as hear experience from the Dutch Central Bank and the Bank of France.

The webinar will be delivered in English. It is going to take place on December 1 at 10:00 and will last 1.5h.

Who should apply

As we will touch upon both, macro and micro level stress tests, the webinar is targeting:

• employees in financial stability departments, 
• employees working in banking regulation and supervision departments,
• others in research and analysis departments working on financial stability.
