Climate Risk Regulation in Africa’s Financial Sector and Related Private Sector Initiatives

Organisation:
United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI)

This report highlights the state of climate risk regulation in Africa’s financial sector and presents an analysis of the financial stability architecture and climate risk initiatives in 12 selected deep-dive countries. It also highlights challenges hindering the integration of climate risk by financial sector authorities in Africa and offers potential areas of support for the key stakeholders in the finance ecosystem (authorities, private sectors, other institutions).

The report seeks to assess the integration of climate-related risks in the prudential, financial, regulatory and supervisory frameworks of a selection of African countries and identify potential levers to incentivise their internalization. It does not explore broader green/sustainable finance-related initiatives, like bonds and principles.
