Giovedì, Marzo 30, 2023

In 2022 the ECB conducted a climate risk stress test of the Eurosystem balance sheet as part of its action plan to include climate change considerations in its monetary policy strategy.

Key Points: 
  • In 2022 the ECB conducted a climate risk stress test of the Eurosystem balance sheet as part of its action plan to include climate change considerations in its monetary policy strategy.
  • [1] The aims of this exercise were to (i) analyse the sensitivity of the Eurosystem’s financial risk profile to climate change; and (ii) enhance the Eurosystem’s climate risk assessment capabilities.
  • This climate risk stress test used scenarios developed by both the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) and the ECB.
  • Under the disorderly transition scenario, the implementation of climate policies is delayed, leading to severe transition risk but only limited physical risk.
  • These shocks are based on the aforementioned 2022 climate risk stress test by ECB Banking Supervision as well as on NGFS data.
  • This climate risk stress test of the Eurosystem balance sheet used the Eurosystem’s financial risk assessment framework as the basis for its risk estimation, using the aforementioned shocks.

Key Points: 
  • [1]
    I have since passed the baton of chairing the NGFS to Ravi Menon, Managing Director of the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
  • In our monetary policy, for example, last month we started tilting our corporate bond purchases towards issuers with a better climate performance.
  • And in our work as banking supervisors, we have continued to roll out what I previously described as an immersive approach to the supervision of climate-related and environmental risks.
  • [2] An approach in which these risks are fully integrated into the day-to-day activities of our joint supervisory teams, who are in constant contact with banks.
  • For the banks under our supervision, we are contributing to this by proactively sharing the good practices we see.
  • And that end can be one thing only: practices and policies that are fully aligned with a Paris-compatible transition path.
  • But we cannot assess the success of our actions based on our point of departure.
  • Droughts, floods, heatwaves, and biodiversity loss are undeniably on the rise as very real manifestations of the climate and environmental crises.
  • Join us in urgently taking all the steps necessary to ensure that our journey through Sharm El-Sheikh takes us to Paris in time.

COP27 UN "Credible" Plan to Meet NetZero with No Greenwashing is a "Boom and Fizzle" Demolished by Finnish Materials Study says Friends of Science

CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --  As reported by the National Observer, Nov. 08, 2022, the UN High Level Expert Group (HLEG) led by Catherine McKenna, claims to outline a credible plan to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions to prevent greenwashing, but Friends of Science says the UN HLEG forgot to do a feasibility study; a Finnish materials study by Simon Michaux renders the UN greenwashing report moot and a 'boom and fizzle.' Friends of Science Society expresses concern over the evermore tyrannical tone of demands for mandatory reporting and NetZero compliance, when it is a physical impossibility.

Key Points: 
  • Friends of Science Society expresses concern over the evermore tyrannical tone of demands for mandatory reporting and NetZero compliance, when it is a physical impossibility.
  • Friends of Science have issued an Open Letter to the Competition Bureau exposing the fallacy of the charges, one fact being that NetZero targets are unattainable, confirmed by Simon Michaux's comprehensive study.
  • The CLINTEL group of more than 1400 scientists and scholars say there is no climate emergency; natural factors drive climate change.
  • Friends of Science Society is an independent group of earth, atmospheric and solar scientists, engineers, and citizens that is celebrating its 20th year of offering climate science insights.

CALGARY, Alberta, Oct. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As the COP27 UN Climate Conference approaches in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt (Nov 6-18, 2022), developing nations are jostling for 'loss and damage' climate reparations to dominate discussions, as reported by the Financial Times, Oct. 09, 2022, demands which are unlikely to be met, says Friends of Science Society.

Key Points: 
  • WMO "State of Climate Services" report appears to rely on the implausible RCP 8.5 scenario, without which the 'climate emergency' disappears and there is no need to race to NetZero.
  • "For years, the agreed target [for climate aid to developing nations] was $100 billion per year up to 2025, a target that was never reached.
  • (In 2021, it is estimated that the richer countries provided about $75 billion in various forms of bilateral and multilateral climate aid).
  • Friends of Science says that without the implausible scenarios RCP 8.5 and 6, the perceived climate emergency is over.
