Climate Risk Disclosure and Reporting Regulations No. (1) of 2026

Climate Risk Disclosure and Reporting Regulations No. (1) of 2026, dated 11 January, 2026 These regulations have been issued with the aim of establishing guidelines for the effective disclosure and reporting of climate related risks by banks operating in Jordan. These guidelines are based on International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS S2) issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) on climate-related disclosures, and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) framework for the disclosure of climate￾related financial risks. Climate change may pose risks and present opportunities that could have a material impact on a bank’s operations, financial performance and long-term viability. The Central Bank of Jordan’s assessment of banks’ exposure to climate-related financial risks has shown that the most significant potential risks are chronic physical risks arising from water scarcity and rising temperatures, followed by acute physical risks arising from floods and earthquakes, as well as transition risks related to the shift towards a low-carbon economy and its impact on high-carbon economic sectors. Providing clear, comprehensive and useful information for decision-making on the impact of climate change enables investors, customers and regulators to better assess how climate￾related risks affect banks, and effective reporting of climate risks to regulators is essential for effective regulatory oversight and risk assessment, and enables the central bank to assess banks’ ability to cope with climate risks, monitor emerging vulnerabilities, and make informed decisions to safeguard the stability of the banking sector. Governor Dr. Adel Al-Sharkas.
