Central banks and financial regulators (CBFR) have an important role in managing climate-related financial risks. Many CBFRs across different jurisdictions are undertaking actions to raise awareness of climate risks in financial institutes and apply them in their operations.

- Risk factor measurement and calculation
- Dynamic risk metrics calculation
- Aggregation of climate risk measures
