Frank Elderson: Ensuring resilience in the face of uncertainty

Why this matters

The document is a keynote speech by Frank Elderson at an ECB-Bank of England conference. It is informational with no binding obligations or dates, so urgency is null. It concerns banks' management of climate and nature (C&N) risks, including scenario analysis, ICAAP calibration, and transition planning, which maps to ESG/Sustainability and Prudential/Capital Requirements. It references banks under ECB supervision and touches on insurance indirectly (insurance as a risk mitigant), but the core audience is banks, so Insurance is a weaker fit and is included only as a secondary sector. The speech carries concrete supervisory signals, such as the expectation that banks demonstrate understanding of model limitations and act early, which justifies a score of 3.
