Network for Greening the Financial System Annual report Annual report 2020 March 2021NGFS ANNUAL REPORT 2020 2 Introductory message by Frank Elderson, Chair of the NGFS L aunched in 2017, the Central Banks and Supervisors Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) published its first comprehensive report in April 2019, issuing in particular six non‑binding recommendations aimed at inspiring central banks and supervisors in their domestic agenda. In 2020, we focused our work on following up on these recommendations to help the NGFS members to take action, thus ensuring that our community keeps developing a common understanding around these global issues. The past year has been extraordinary for all of us, in many ways. The worldwide pandemic crisis has undoubtedly affected our personal and professional lives. Yet I am very proud that even under these challenging circumstances, the NGFS members did not lose sight of the urgency and seriousness of climate change and environmental issues. Not only did we stay on track, we even doubled down on our efforts. In 2020, the NGFS published several reports, including some operational guides and the so‑called NGFS scenarios. These publications cover the core missions of central banks and supervisors, from supervision to financial stability monitoring and monetary policy. They also reflect the considerable progress we have made collectively in improving the analysis and management of climate and environment‑related risks. We also reviewed our governance and approved a new work programme, including the launch of two new workstreams focused on data gaps and research topics. While immensely challenging, the pandemic has also provided an extraordinary and unique opportunity for a green recovery. On a more practical level, it pushed us to change the way we work together: for instance, our Plenary meeting in Bangkok, hosted by the Central Bank of Thailand, had to be cancelled but we managed to keep the spirit of the NGFS alive by switching to virtual meetings and events. It has even proven to be a very accessible – and, of course, climate‑friendly – way to share knowledge and experiences. Our Network can only be as strong as the community supporting its work. That is why I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the continued commitment of the NGFS members and observers to the work of the NGFS, and for all efforts and technical expertise. I am also pleased to see how everyone has progressed in integrating climate‑related and environmental risks into their day‑to‑day work: indeed, a truly global response from central banks and supervisors to the climate crisis is only possible when the work of the NGFS is leveraged within each jurisdiction. I am therefore delighted that we continue to welcome new members from around the world: in 2020, our network of the willing grew from 54 to 83 members and from 12 to 13 observers. In its first three years of existence, the NGFS managed to explode out of the starting blocks, but we are aware that we have started a marathon, not a sprint. Looking ahead, the NGFS will continue to expand its efforts on climate scenarios, supervisory practices, monetary policy and sustainable and responsible investment practices, and take the first steps to address data gaps in relation to its work. I am definitely confident that 2021 will be another productive year for the Network.NGFS ANNUAL REPORT 2020 3 O N E P L A N E T S U M M I T DECEMBER 2017 central banks and supervisors established a Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System. representing 5 continents.

The recommendations are not binding and reflect the best practices identified by NGFS members to facilitate the role of the financial sector in achieving the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Recommendations Nos. 1 to 4 are aimed at inspiring and providing meaningful reference points to central banks Central banks and supervisors Recommendations Main actions undertaken by the NGFS 1. Integrating climate‑related risks into financial stability monitoring and micro‑supervision. Publication of several reports, including the Guide for Supervisors (May 2020), the NGFS Climate Scenarios for central banks and supervisors and the Guide to climate scenario analysis (June 2020). 2. Integrating sustainability factors into own‑portfolio management. Publication of two reports: A sustainable and responsible investment guide for central banks’ portfolio management (October 2019) and a Progress report on the implementation of sustainable and responsible investment practices (December 2020). 3. Bridging the data gaps. In 2020, the NGFS launched a new workstream focused on the topic of data gaps. 4. Building awareness and intellectual capacity and encouraging technical assistance and knowledge‑sharing. The NGFS Secretariat frequently organises internal workshops and outreach sessions with its members. NGFS members and the NGFS Secretariat are also very active in sharing experiences beyond NGFS membership, by organising and participating in conferences/events. Policy makers Recommendations Main actions undertaken by the NGFS 5. Achieving robust and internationally consistent climate and environment‑related disclosure. Although there are many aspects of reporting that fall outside the remit of central banks and supervisors, disclosure of climate and environment‑related risk is an instrumental element for better management of these risks and for the scaling‑up of green finance. Therefore, several NGFS workstreams are working on the topic from various perspectives. 6. Supporting the development of a taxonomy of economic activities. The NGFS is an observer of the International Platform on Sustainable Finance (IPSF) and of the Platform on Sustainable Finance (PSF). Focus on the six NGFS recommendations and follow-up and supervisors – NGFS members and non‑members – to take these best practices on board when it fits within their mandate. Parts of these recommendations may also be applicable to financial institutions. Recommendations Nos. 5 and 6 do not fall directly within the remit of central banks and supervisors but point to actions that can be taken by policymakers to facilitate the work of central banks and supervisors. Since then, the NGFS has focused its work on following up on these recommendations to help the NGFS members to take action.NGFS ANNUAL REPORT 2020 7 As of end‑2020, the NGFS covers: Over 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions Over 85% of global GDP 83 members, representing 5 continents Supervision of over 100% of the global systemically important banks and 2/3 of the global systemically important insurers In 2020: • The NGFS won 2 awards (Central Banking and Climate Bonds Initiative). • 6 interviews were performed with NGFS members (“In conversation with”). • The NGFS published 9 reports. • The Chair of the NGFS delivered more than 10 speeches. • The NGFS organised more than 20 virtual high‑level meetings. • 29 new members joined the NGFS. • Representatives of NGFS members, NGFS workstream Chairs and the NGFS Secretariat participated in more than 100 events and showcased the work of the NGFS.

The work of the NGFS is now structured along five workstreams dedicated to: • Developing supervisory practices on climate‑ and environment‑related risks (chaired by Zeng Yi Wong from the Monetary Authority of Singapore); • Analysing the macrofinancial impact of climate change (chaired by Sarah Breeden from the Bank of England); • Scaling up green finance (chaired by Sabine Mauderer from the Deutsche Bundesbank); Fabio Natalucci, co‑ Chair of the workstream on “Bridging the data gaps”: “Improving quality, consistency and comparability of climate data is a multi‑faceted challenge: Convergence toward a common disclosure framework, alongside progress toward global minimum standards, is crucial to close data gaps. ” Zeng Yi Wong, Chair of the workstream on “Microprudential and Supervision”: “Climate and environmental risks call for supervisors globally to take action. We will continue to play a pivotal role in uplifting supervisory practices and deepening risk analysis. ” Ma Jun, Chair of the workstream on “Research”: “Research is key to keeping NGFS on a path towards innovative green finance solutions. ” Sabine Mauderer, Chair of the workstream on “Scaling up green finance”: “Climate change is clearly moving up central banks’ agendas. We are exploring how to deal with climate‑related risks in our monetary policy operations. ” • Bridging the data gaps (co‑ chaired by Fabio Natalucci from the International Monetary Fund and Patrick Amis from the European Central Bank/Single Supervisory Mechanism); • Developing the NGFS research agenda (chaired by Ma Jun from the People’s Bank of China).
