The Bank of England and Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA)
The Bank of England and Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) are
organising a conference in Q4 2022 on climate change and capital. The
objective of the conference is to facilitate discussion on the complex
issues associated with adjusting the capital framework to take account of
climate-related financial risks. This meets a commitment the PRA made in
its Climate Change Adaptation Report 2021 and will support its aim of
providing more guidance on its approach to climate and capital by the end
of 2022.
The Bank of England is actively participating in the international
discussions on climate and capital that are currently ongoing at the Basel
Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Task Force on Climate-related
Financial Risks (TFCR) and at the International Association of Insurance
Supervisors (IAIS). The Bank is an advocate for an internationally
coordinated response to these issues. This conference will assist in
fostering debate as we work towards solutions on capital and climate, as
well as informing the Bank’s internal view as it considers its own policy
response.
The conference will consist of presentations and high-level policy
discussions with key stakeholders, including regulators, financial sector
representatives and academia. It will focus on the policy implications of
the research, and discussions of the papers will include regulatory
panellists who are actively considering these issues.
Conference discussions and research submissions will be used to inform live
policy development at the Bank and PRA. We invite submissions that consider
the challenges with using prudential capital tools to ensure firms are
resilient to climate-related financial risks. Submissions on the following
topics are especially encouraged:
 	Approaches for reflecting climate-related financial risks in capital
requirements for banks and insurers. These should consider:
 	The appropriate time horizon over which the risks should be reflected in
capital requirements;
 	How to deal with uncertainty over that time period, including the use of
scenarios to more accurately measure and calibrate capital requirements;
and/or
 	Where these risks are best reflected in the capital regime, ie the
appropriateness of microprudential firm-specific vs macroprudential
system-wide capital requirements for climate risks.
The Bank also has an ongoing interest in broader issues relating to climate
and capital. Although these topics are outside the scope of this
conference, authors are welcome to share research or insights in the
following areas:
 	How to incorporate forward-looking data in capital requirement
methodologies consistently.
 	Alternatives to the high-level categorisation of assets and (for
insurers) liabilities by sector or geography in the current capital
framework, recognising that climate risk impacts do not fall into such neat
buckets.
Further Information:
The deadline for paper submissions is 30 June 2022, but authors are welcome
to notify the Bank of England of their intended research topic ahead of the
deadline. Submissions and topic notifications should be sent to
ClimateCapitalConference@BankOfEngland.co.uk. Authors will be notified by
15 August 2022 if they are invited to speak at the conference.
The conference programme, relevant papers, and general information will be
posted in due course. Attendance is free, but participants are requested to
register by 16 September 2022. Further information on how to register will
be forthcoming.
