From Extreme Weather to Credit Risk: Insights for Regulators and Bank Leaders
June 16, 2026, 2-3pm ET
Online
Extreme weather is increasingly acting as a driver and amplifier of traditional prudential risks across the banking system, including credit, operational, liquidity, and market risk. Banks are facing concentrated geographic exposure, insurance market disruptions, collateral valuation pressures, and
operational challenges that may not be fully captured by backward-looking risk models. This webinar brings together experts who have developed and applied extreme weather risk frameworks at the federal, state, and institutional levels, sharing insights on how weather-related financial risks may emerge through existing channels and how supervisory and institutional risk management practices can incorporate these considerations in practical and proportionate ways. | | | | | | | | The Path Forward: Targeting Key Sourcing Areas to Reduce Supply Chain Risk

Geopolitical conflict, rising trade barriers, and fragile global supply chains are reshaping the economics of energy.
