One of the wicked problems in climate risk disclosures whether to comply with TCFD, ISSB, ESRS or for strategic reasons, is quantification of climate transition risks. While the financial sector and some companies themselves have developed methodologies for transition risk quantification, these methodologies have often not been publicly disclosed, are not based on any peer-reviewed methodology and are not standardized across the economy or industry or sector. Bringing some standardization to transition risk quantification will be imperative to make risk disclosures comparable and meaningful. In our new paper, myself, David Carlin, Edward Byers and Keywan Riahi propose fundamental principles that are based in the science of climate scenarios, and should be followed when doing company level climate transition risk quantifications. These principles include; 1. Climate risks are more than just carbon emissions and won’t be mitigated by emissions reduction only. 2. At least two scenarios should be used for one risk disclosure statement. Risk has to be measured against a ‘business-as-usual’ scenario. 3. There should be transparency around which transition risks are assessed quantitatively and qualitatively, and which are excluded. 4. Lack of extreme events coverage should be acknowledged in the disclosures. 5. Risk model assumptions should not differ from underlying climate scenario assumptions. It would be important to build fora to standardize risk quantification and expand on this set of principles and methodologies.

Climate assumptions in forward-looking statements
Explore top LinkedIn content from expert professionals.
Summary
Climate assumptions in forward-looking statements refer to the expectations and predictions companies make about how climate change and related policies will impact their future operations, finances, and risks. These assumptions are increasingly required in financial reporting and risk disclosures, helping both companies and stakeholders anticipate potential climate-related challenges and opportunities.
- Align climate data: Make sure your climate assumptions are consistent with your financial statements and reporting systems to avoid gaps that could confuse auditors or investors.
- Disclose key risks: Clearly communicate which climate-related risks and uncertainties are factored into your forward-looking statements, including how they might affect assets, liabilities, or business plans.
- Use standard scenarios: Base your predictions on commonly accepted climate scenarios and explain your reasoning, so disclosures are comparable and transparent for anyone reviewing your company’s reports.

Rethinking Sustainability & ESG Integration: What External Auditors Will Challenge – Practical Insights Auditors are no longer just reviewing disclosures - they’re testing how sustainability assumptions connect to financial reporting. 2025 will be the year systems, not statements, are under review. Here are six areas where questions will sharpen 👇 💡 Financial connectivity – do climate assumptions align with your accounts? 💡 Transition plan realism – are targets backed by budgets and delivery? 💡 Accounting estimates – have you factored in climate exposures? 💡 Scope 3 & data assurance – can supplier data withstand audit testing? 💡 Controls & documentation – is your non-financial data audit-ready? 💡 Narrative coherence – do your story and numbers tell the same message? The biggest risk next year isn’t a missed disclosure - it’s a lack of connectivity between sustainability assumptions and financial statements. How confident are you that both sides of your reporting tell the same story? Follow Jose Hopkins ACA for practical insights on how sustainability and ESG factors are reshaping accounting, assurance, governance, risk management, strategy & financial reporting. #FinancialReporting #AuditAndAssurance #ClimateRisk #SustainabilityReporting #ESGIntegration

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has issued a near-final draft of "Disclosures about Uncertainties in the Financial Statements Illustrated using Climate-related Examples". 1- These examples aim to improve the reporting of climate-related and other uncertainties in financial statements. 2- They do not introduce new IFRS requirements but show how existing standards apply. 3- While there's no set effective date, the IASB expects entities to have sufficient time for implementation, typically months. 4- Regulators will likely expect these examples to be considered in the next financial statements. .. Example 1: Materiality of Climate Transition Plans (IAS 1/IFRS 18) Entities facing significant climate-related risks may need to explain the lack of impact from their transition plans on financial statements if deemed material. In contrast, those with limited risks may find such explanations immaterial. This emphasizes the importance of assessing materiality based on specific facts and user expectations. .. Example 2: Impairment Test Assumptions (IAS 36) This example highlights the need to disclose key assumptions and perform sensitivity analysis during impairment tests for goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets, even when the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount. It stresses that all relevant key assumptions, not just discount or growth rates, should be disclosed. .. Example 3: Sources of Estimation Uncertainty (IAS 1) This example clarifies that disclosures regarding assumptions that carry a significant risk of leading to material adjustments in asset and liability carrying amounts within the forthcoming year may be essential, even if these assumptions are not expected to be resolved within that period. .. Example 4: Climate-Related Credit Risk (IFRS 7) This example demonstrates the required disclosures related to credit risk when climate-related factors materially influence specific loan portfolios. It outlines the considerations for determining the materiality of such information and offers illustrative examples of relevant disclosures. .. Example 5: Materiality of Provisions (IAS 37) This example shows that obligations like decommissioning responsibilities can be material even if the recognized provision seems quantitatively immaterial due to discounting. Factors such as the risk of early settlement are relevant in assessing materiality. .. Example 6: Disaggregation for Clarity (IFRS 18) This example shows how to disaggregate asset information within the same class, like Property, Plant, and Equipment (PP&E), based on distinct risk characteristics, such as varying GHG emissions, to offer relevant insights. ... Boards should recognize that these examples offer valuable insights into current IFRS disclosure mandates while maintaining existing requirements. Considering them is essential for effective financial reporting on climate and other uncertainties. .. More: 👇 Source: IASB, EY

Climate Change Risk Assessments 🌎 Climate-related financial disclosure requirements are expanding across jurisdictions, increasing expectations for companies to assess and report on climate-related risks and opportunities. A structured climate change risk assessment (CCRA) is central to meeting these evolving regulatory demands. CCRAs evaluate both physical risks—such as extreme weather events, water stress, and sea level rise—and transition risks, including policy changes, carbon pricing, and shifts in market or technology landscapes. They also help identify potential opportunities linked to decarbonization, energy efficiency, and new revenue models. Scenario analysis is a core component. It enables companies to test strategic resilience under divergent climate pathways, including high-emissions futures and low-emissions transitions aligned with the Paris Agreement. Most regulatory frameworks now require both perspectives. Benefits of a robust CCRA include improved risk management, reduced exposure to disruptions, and strengthened alignment with investor expectations. Insights from these assessments can be embedded into enterprise risk systems, capital planning, and strategic roadmaps. Key challenges include short-term thinking in risk registers, limited access to forward-looking climate data, and misalignment between climate risk analysis and existing sustainability goals. These gaps can reduce the effectiveness of disclosures and slow organizational response. Recommended approaches include leveraging established scenarios (e.g. IPCC, IEA), integrating outputs into ERM systems, using frameworks like ISSB and TCFD for structure, and applying competitive benchmarking to validate assumptions. Cross-functional engagement improves practical relevance. As regulatory standards converge, CCRAs are becoming a baseline expectation. Those who develop structured, forward-looking assessments will be better positioned to adapt business models, manage uncertainty, and align with capital markets under increasing climate scrutiny.

🌍 Definitely wonkish, but a must-read for anyone invested in our climate future! Before you dive in, I'd like to explain why this matters. This is about macroeconomic models—tools used to inform policymakers on crucial economic and environmental decisions. 📉💼 Now, all macroeconomic models have their flaws. They're built on assumptions and simplifications that help with forecasting or scenario analysis. 🔍 However, it becomes a major issue when certain assumptions or omissions misrepresent the problem they're analyzing. And that's exactly what's happening with the mainstream models often used for climate change and mitigation scenarios. 🚨🌡️ These models (called Environmental Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (E-DSGE) models) aren’t just abstract concepts; they shape our climate action strategies. 🌎✨ This paper by Yannis Dafermos, Andrew McConnell. Maria Nikolaidi. Servaas Storm and Boyan Yanovski(👉 https://lnkd.in/es7a6ZjM) summarises the critique: 1️⃣ Banks as "Pure Intermediaries" is a Misrepresentation: E-DSGE models view banks merely as pass-through institutions of savings, not as money creators. This ignores banks' ability to create money and underestimates potential macro-financial instability (e.g., green booms or fossil-sector busts) from climate policies. 🌱💸 2️⃣ Demand’s Limited Role in Growth: In E-DSGE models, demand impacts the economy only in the short term. Long-term green investments are seen as costly to GDP since increased green spending must offset other demands. This makes net-zero goals look economically heavier than they might actually be. 📉🌍 3️⃣ Struggle with Disequilibrium & Climate Impact: Rational expectations in E-DSGE models mean agents are assumed to have near-perfect foresight. This framework limits understanding of short-term green investments or rising climate damages, ignoring critical disequilibrium effects in real markets. 📈⚠️ 4️⃣ Unrealistic Substitutability Assumptions: E-DSGE assumes fixed substitutability between fossil and green energy. This limits the capacity of green policies to phase out fossil energy fully and reduces the effectiveness of green monetary policies, even making them appear negligible. 💡🔋 5️⃣Downplaying Fiscal Policy Benefits: E-DSGE suggests green public investments "crowd out" private investments by raising interest rates or requiring higher taxes. This view downplays fiscal policy’s ability to complement private-sector green investments and reduce long-term climate risks. 🏗️🌱 6️⃣ Questionable "Optimal" Policies: E-DSGE models operate in a “second-best” world with inherent market distortions. This makes concepts like “optimal carbon tax” unclear—policies might improve welfare, but not necessarily. 🚫💰 See also a summary of these points below 👇 Better models (and common sense) can help us better than these models.

Regulators and banks are placing growing emphasis on the impact of climate risk on Expected Credit Loss (ECL). The PRA sets the tone with clear expectations: “Consider a broader range of downside climate scenarios, and climate-related variables, in the economic scenarios used in the ECL calculation, to allow for timely identification of borrowers and sectors more exposed to climate risk than the wider economy.” In practice, this guidance points to two main approaches: 1. Introduce dedicated climate-related scenarios and layer them into the ECL framework. 2. Embed climate risk into existing economic scenarios, adjusting key macro variables like GDP, inflation, and credit risk metrics to reflect physical and transition risks. The first route is conceptually elegant. Many banks, like HSBC, already assign probabilities to multiple macroeconomic scenarios and use them in weighted ECL calculations (see below). In that structure, adding a new climate scenario might seem straightforward (HSBC already have 2 Downside scenarios): assign it a probability and plug it in. But here’s the catch: Climate scenarios don’t come with probabilities. At least, not ones you can confidently defend. Climate narratives like “Orderly Transition,” “Disorderly Transition,” or “Hot House World” are plausible, not probable. Institutions have deliberately avoided attaching likelihoods, not due to lack of imagination, but to avoid misleading certainty about long-term, systemic outcomes. So, what about the second approach? If we modify existing macroeconomic scenarios to reflect climate risk, another problem emerges: Which climate assumptions go into which economic scenario? A recession can occur in a green transition, or in a world of extreme weather. Mapping climate futures onto economic narratives becomes an exercise in judgment—and the risk is, climate drivers get blurred into general macro assumptions and lose visibility. We might treat economic and climate scenarios as separate dimensions, and model them using joint probabilities. However we hit the same wall: You still need probabilities for each climate state—the very numbers we’re hesitant to define. So where does this leave us? Well, work in progress..
