Abstract
Banks are exposed to climate risks through stranded assets. This risk can be substantial in the banking sector, as it can spawn systemic risk. After the Great Recession, macro-prudential instruments effectively addressed systemic risk. However, climatic risks raise the research question of how feasible it is to address them by adopting macro-prudential instruments. The researchers, therefore, investigate how banks can respond to the risk posed by stranded assets through the framework of using macro-prudential instruments. A semi-systematic review of the related literature is carried out based on the researchers’ aim to evaluate theory evidence in the effectiveness of macro-prudential instruments in addressing climate-related risks. The adaptability of macro-prudential instruments to address climatic risks and, by implication, systemic risk is demonstrated in the findings. The researchers develop a framework constituting climate transparency disclosures, climate capital requirement ratio, climate capital conservation, carbon countercyclical buffer and macro-prudential climate stress tests to mitigate the effects of climate risks in banking.
