Supervisory News: Nature Risk Assessment
The guidelines provide a voluntary methodology for banks to assess nature-related risks, specifically physical and transition risks, within their credit portfolios. The approach narrows the definition of biodiversity impact to specific activities in sectors such as real estate, offering a less restrictive alternative to international frameworks like ENCORE. Banks are required to evaluate ESG risks according to their size and business models, integrating significant risks into risk management processes without imposing new obligations on farmers or foresters.
