Webinar - How to turn banks ‘green’: response to HKMA white paper on green and sustainable banking

This Education programme is FULL.

In May 2020, HKMA issued a Common Assessment Framework on Green and Sustainable Banking to assess authorized institutions’ readiness and preparedness in managing climate and environment-related risks. With the assessment results received in August 2020, HKMA may approach individual banks to seek further information or clarification, with an aim to shaping a more climate-resilient banking system ultimately.


Bank practitioners are expected to understand transition risks as much as credit risks, and Paris Agreement as much as Basel III. In collaboration with Carbon Care Asia (CCA), this seminar will share their experts’ insights on how to turn banks into green institutions: low-carbon transition pathways, accounting of financed emissions, science-based targets, internal carbon pricing, carbon neutrality demands in consumer banking, sustainable investment practices, green finance tools and more.

Decarbonising the economy holds many risks but it also offers plenty of opportunities. Firms that get ahead of their rivals and seize such opportunities will reap the biggest benefits. For the banking sector, there is no exception.
