CLIMATE RISKS |

The Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS)
The NGFS partnered with an expert group of climate scientists and economists to design a set of hypothetical long-term scenarios, published in November 2024 in the expanded version 5.0. They provide a common and up-to-date reference point for understanding how climate change (physical risk) and climate policy and technology trends (transition risk) could evolve in different futures. Each scenario was chosen to show a range of higher and lower risk outcomes. For more information, click here. During May 2025, the NGFS published short-term climate scenarios for central banks and supervisors.
