World Economic Forum (WEF) — Climate Governance Initiative (CGI)
Russian Chapter is a local part of the global climate management system.
WEF Climate Governance Initiative (CGI).
Appropriate climate risk management solutions hinge upon the development of new management approaches. Through the Climate Governance Initiative (CGI), the World Economic Forum supports raising awareness and developing competencies among boards of directors, allowing them to manage risks more effectively.
Local offices are now being set up in key jurisdictions to bring together directors who can determine effective approaches and processes for climate management in the companies they control.
Eight countries, some of which are G20 countries, are already participating in the Climate Governance Initiative:
Risks posed by climate change:
- Physical destruction and asset impairment because of natural disasters
- Water scarcity
- Economic impact
- Destruction of supply chains
- Changing behavior and priorities on the consumer market
- Reputational risks
- Risk of business model transformation due to regulatory changes

The Bank of Russia: The impact of climate risks and the sustainable development of the financial sector in Russia. Report for public consultation
The state structures responsible for regulating corporate relations, the banking and insurance market, and the financial stability of the Russian Federation have prepared a report on the impact of climate risks on the country’s financial sector and its sustainable development.
The report is mainly devoted to climate risks: definitions, types, and impacts on financial institutions in the banking and insurance sectors. It details the tools of climate risk management based on the experience of world insurers, foreign states and companies; a perception of Russian banking regulation of climate risks is being formed.
