Abstract
The World Bank Group prepared this
report, Climate Change in APEC: Assessing Risks, Preparing
Financial Markets, and Mobilizing Institutional Investors to
inform policymakers, financial sector regulators, and
investors from across APEC member economies about the
interconnected climate change challenges that they face.
This report aims to help these stakeholders better
understand the human and economic risks that climate change
poses to the region and to provide them with a starting
point for discussions about opportunities for action. This
report outlines the potential human and economic impacts of
climate change on APEC member economies and the benefits to
mitigating these impacts. It then outlines the
climate-related risks to financial institutions and how
financial system regulators can help institutions to manage
these risks. It concludes with a discussion of the policy,
regulatory and market barriers to scaling-up institutional
investors' contributions to climate finance and
solutions to each. In doing so, this report aims to
capitalize on the unique and exciting opportunity provided
by the 2019 APEC Investor Forum for policymakers, financial
sector regulators and investors from across APEC member
economies to share insights on the interconnected climate
change challenges that they face and to provide a starting
point for discussions about opportunities for action.
