Frequently asked questions
Where should a financial institution start?
Begin with Module 1 orientation and the guidance relevant to your role and task. For independent review, the two released interactive assessments are rapid climate risk screening and financed emissions. Institutional maturity remains guidance and original resources; its scored assessment is not released.
What can users do when data is incomplete?
Use qualitative screening first, record assumptions, score data quality, and improve data collection over time rather than waiting for perfect data.
How do climate assessments turn into credit decisions?
Screening and due diligence findings should flow into approval conditions, covenants, action plans, monitoring metrics, and escalation rules.
How does portfolio work connect to disclosures?
Transaction-level data should roll up into portfolio metrics, scenario analysis, stress testing, and disclosure readiness evidence.
When should clients be engaged?
Engagement should begin early, continue through data collection and action planning, and remain part of monitoring after approval.
