Assessing Bank of England’s Climate Risk Scenarios
Global central banks and regulators are increasingly focused on the risks climate change poses to the global financial system.
The Bank of England’s recent climate risk stress test is the latest effort.

Join Mark Zandi, Chief Economist; Marisa DiNatale, Senior Director; and Chris Lafakis, Director, as they discuss climate change scenarios and their implications on central banks.
