Our observations on the ECB thematic review on C&E risks in 2022

In November 2020, the ECB published its guide on climate-related and environmental risks (C&E risks) specifying 13 expectations on how the institutions it supervises must integrate C&E risks into their business model and strategy, governance, and risk management.
