COP21 took important steps towards changing the conversation about the identification, definition and disclosure of climate risks.

A new network of regulators will be responsible for managing financial stability and climate risk, while the UK Financial Stability

Board announced a new ‘climate risk disclosures taskforce’. Led by the Carbon Tracker Initiative and the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB) , this roundtable will discuss what these developments mean for CEOs from energy and other industries, as well as for policymakers and regulators in practice.

During this  event Carbon Tracker and CDSB launched a new paper designed to assist the FSB Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures in assessing the energy transition risk and ‘stranded asset’ danger inherent in the business-as-usual strategies of many fossil fuel companies.
