UNEP FI Launches Framework to Integrate Sustainability Risk into Core Banking Practices

The United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) today launched a Conceptual Framework for Sustainability Risk Integration. This framework provides a practical approach for banks to embed sustainability risks, such as climate shocks and nature loss, into their core risk management practices. The initiative responds to growing supervisory expectations and technical challenges faced by banks in fully integrating these risks, which are increasingly seen as drivers of financial performance and resilience.
