The Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) was developed in 2015 by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) to create consistent climate-related financial risk disclosures for use by companies, banks, and investors in providing information to stakeholders. Increasing the amount of reliable information on financial institutions’ exposure to climate-related risks and opportunities will strengthen the stability of the financial system, contribute to a greater understanding of climate risks and facilitate financing the transition to a more stable and sustainable economy.
The United Nations Environment Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) has published numerous tools, frameworks and guides to empower both participating institutions and those throughout the financial industry to better manage and disclose their climate risks.
