The Philippines is the most at risk from natural disasters and climate change is going to make it worse. I spoke to the Philippines central bank about what they are doing to try and make their financial sector more resilient to climate change

Frank Elderson cautioned that “excluding too many firms from the #CSRD could impair the availability of comparable information about important parts of our economy.” That’s why we’re revisiting a year of @greencb.bsky.social#CSRDcoverage on the EU’s proposed sustainability omnibus reforms. 🧵

Not everyone in Brussels agrees with the EU’s omnibus proposal.

It’s challenging to be a journalist these days when everything is about tariffs and you’re trying to let people know about other important climate finance news but you feel like everything not tariff related is getting drowned out.

I’m terrified by what’s happening in the US and how complacent everyone seems to be. Where are the protests? Where are the objections? Please tell I’m wrong and people are actually fighting this. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/w...

I’ve been following the EU sustainability omnibus proposal closely. It’s technical and confusing so I wrote an explainer for @greencb.bsky.social on what’s happening and why experts are concerned about its impact on climate risk mitigation. greencentralbanking.com/2025/02/26/e...

I spoke with the head of the European Central Bank’s climate change centre about the importance of banks accounting for climate change risk and the central bank’s plan to continue its work with the NGFS. greencentralbanking.com/2025/02/04/i...

Despite the recent cold in the USA, and the presence of a (weak) La Niña in the Pacific, January is on track to be the warmest January on record. 😬

Some good news to start the weekend.

Sharing an article I wrote a few months ago now that Trump has officially withdrawn the US from the Paris agreement. greencentralbanking.com/2024/10/04/t...

Despite pushback from the US, the Basel committee is still considering climate disclosures for banks greencentralbanking.com/2024/11/26/b...

Well this isn’t looking good.

Snow in Paris today. Yet on Sunday the forecast is for a high of 19 C (66 F).

And it’s only expected to get worse and more unstable in the coming years.

#COP29 UPDATE Presidency just outlined plan to wrap up: 🕛midnight new texts on NCQG, MWP, JTWP, UAE dialogue 🕖other texts tomorrow 7am 🗣️single-setting chat to discuss package ✍️then 2nd text iterations ⏰finish on Friday 🤔 STILL NO COVER TEXT: "don’t want to open a new battle front"

The Central Bank of Azerbaijan released a global green taxonomy at Cop29. Cross-border financial flows can get bogged down with all the different taxonomies. Is this yet another roadmap or will it actually help increase sustainable finance in emerging markets? greencentralbanking.com/2024/11/19/c...

The G20 met in Rio de Janeiro these days and have agreed on a declaration. It is a mixed bag at best and a missed opportunity to provide impetus to the ongoing #COP29 🧵 www.g20.org/en/documents...

Lots to be depressed about right now, but this may be a bright spot - moving to net zero may not be as costly as estimates suggest www.economist.com/interactive/...

With the G20 starting today, I thought I would share this excellent report from a colleague of mine on why US-dollar dominated debt is a threat to climate ambitions, especially for the global south. greencentralbanking.com/2024/11/12/d...
