Purpose of the grant:
Monitoring climate-related (and environmental) financial risks requires high data quality and granularity. However, these data are in short supply, with the exception of some data on a limited number of counterparties. The aim of the project was to take stock of the data needs arising from companies’ transition plans, net zero commitments and financial analyses, as well as those arising from international, European and national regulations and supervisory requirements. A preliminary study of some sources of “climate risk assessment data and methods” and a discussion with industry stakeholders enabled an initial scenario analysis. Secondly, a survey was conducted to gather information on the perception of ESG factors related to environmental, social and corporate governance. In particular, on the extent to which these constitute a relevant criterion for investment choices. The VMG aimed to take concrete measures to increase participation and create a strategy to involve stakeholders in the Action; it allowed for an analysis of the current objective condition based on real data and a self-assessment of one's own perception of involvement in the financial environment; and it allowed for an increase in the awareness of the younger generation on the importance of sustainable finance through their active involvement. The results included two scientific publications and the preparation of a reading article with the aim of communicating the main findings to a wider audience. The VMG involved 6 different countries: Italy, Kosovo, Turkey, Romania, Albania, Ireland.
