The Institut Louis Bachelier, in cooperation with the Fondation du Risque, the Europlace Institute of Finance and the Louis Bachelier "Finance and Sustainable Growth" Laboratory, organized the 15th Financial Risks International Forum aiming to highlight the Methodological and Regulatory Challenges raised by the Ongoing Developments in Financial Technologies.

Climate Change is one of the Key Challenges of our time. Addressing Climate Change and Transitioning the World’s Economy to a Low-Carbon Path will require support from the Financial Sector through Energy and Infrastructure Investments, the creation of New Financial Products and Insurance Solutions. It will also require the development of New Models to assess the Interactions between Climate and the Economy, the measurement of Climate Physical / Transition Risk and its incorporation into Asset Prices, the assessment of Investors’ attitudes and beliefs towards these Risks. Finally, Financial Institutions are interconnected, and Climate Change is posing a serious threat to Financial Stability. Central Banks and Regulators are requesting Financial Institutions to disclose their Climate Risk Exposure and have started to design Scenarios for Climate Stress Tests.
