New York’s state banking regulator issued guidance to regulated banking and lending institutions on managing material financial and operational risks related to climate change.
The guidance, adopted Dec. 21 by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), is “designed to support institutions’ efforts to identify, measure, monitor, and control their material climate-related financial and operational risks in a manner consistent with current risk management principles,” according to the regulator’s press release.
The guidance follows up a September 2020 NYDFS industry letter outlining its expectations for regulated entities in New York on managing risks posed by climate change.
