HKMA finalises bank transition planning guidelines, widens green taxonomy

A speech by HKMA Deputy Chief Executive Arthur Yuen sets out where Hong Kong's sustainable finance framework stands: a taxonomy now in its Phase 2B prototype, transition planning guidelines just finalised for banks, and disclosure rules still being drafted. For compliance teams at Hong Kong banks, the sequencing of these three pieces matters more than the rhetoric around them.

  • The Hong Kong Taxonomy's Phase 2B prototype now covers 39 mitigation activities and 28 adaptation measures.
  • Transition planning guidelines for banks, covering climate risk management and client transition opportunities, have just been finalised.
  • The HKMA is still developing disclosure requirements for the banking sector, a step distinct from and later than the transition planning guidelines.
  • The Government Sustainable Bond Programme has issued nearly HK$280 billion in green bonds since 2019, funding over 110 government green projects.
  • A Digital Green Bond issued last month is described as the world's largest digital bond issuance to date.

AFI presents inclusive green finance work at EIB central bank workshop

A short dispatch on a peer-learning event rather than a rulemaking. It covers what the Alliance for Financial Inclusion told an EIB workshop about how member central banks are folding climate risk and green finance into their mandates, and flags a new voluntary framework, the Port Moresby Compact, that sits behind the remarks.

  • AFI's Johanan Nyman addressed the European Investment Bank's peer learning workshop for central banks in Luxembourg on 27 October 2026.
  • The workshop brings together senior central bank representatives from Africa, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and the Western Balkans.
  • The Central Bank of Egypt presented sustainable finance guidelines, mandatory reporting requirements, and environmental and social risk management frameworks.
  • AFI has launched the Port Moresby Compact on Inclusive Green Finance, a voluntary, non-binding framework endorsed by AFI members and partners.
  • The event was supported by Germany's BMUKN, Luxembourg's MECB, the European Commission, the NDC Partnership, the Climate Bonds Initiative and the NGFS.

HKMA deputy chief flags Hong Kong taxonomy consultation aimed at SME transition finance

A welcome speech by HKMA Deputy Chief Executive Darryl Chan at a CASI Sustainability Forum sets out three strands of Hong Kong policy aimed at making sustainable finance more accessible to small and medium enterprises. Compliance and sustainable finance teams tracking Hong Kong taxonomy developments or green bond grant schemes should note the consultation timeline referenced here.

  • The HKMA opened a public consultation on Phase 2B of the Hong Kong Taxonomy this week, covering transition activities such as iron and steel and adaptation measures such as battery storage and sustainable fuels.
  • The HKMA earlier this year expanded its grant scheme that subsidises green and sustainable debt issuances to also cover advisory services for developing sustainable finance frameworks and transition plans.
  • A steering group of Hong Kong financial regulators has developed a free online greenhouse gas emissions calculator that lets companies estimate their carbon footprint from energy and water bills, and is adding Southeast Asian emission factors.
  • Hong Kong arranged around 40% of Asia's international green and sustainable bonds in 2025, according to the speech.
  • SMEs account for roughly two-thirds of employment and nearly 40% of economic output across Asia, the speech cites from the ADB Asia Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise Monitor 2025.

ECB's Elderson says summer 2026 heat exposed Europe's climate vulnerability

A keynote speech by Frank Elderson, ECB Executive Board member and Vice-Chair of the Supervisory Board, delivered at the Green Swan 2026 Conference in Manila, frames the summer of 2026 as evidence that climate and nature risks are now a present economic reality for Europe rather than a future scenario.

  • The speech was delivered by Frank Elderson, ECB Executive Board member and Vice-Chair of the Supervisory Board, on 19 October 2026 at the Green Swan 2026 Conference in Manila.
  • Summer 2026 is described as the warmest summer ever recorded in Western Europe, with severe droughts, wildfires and water scarcity.
  • Water levels in major European rivers fell to exceptionally low levels, affecting transport, industry and energy production.
  • Europe is stated to be warming faster than any other continent, at more than twice the global average.
  • Tens of thousands of excess deaths linked to extreme heat were recorded during the summer months.

Bank of Italy's Panetta says climate damages topped $200bn in 2025, resilience lagging

A speech by Bank of Italy Governor Fabio Panetta opening the BIS-hosted Green Swan 2026 conference in Manila sets out why climate resilience, not just mitigation, now needs central bank and financial sector attention. Useful for risk and sustainability teams tracking how senior regulators are framing physical climate risk as a near-term financial stability issue rather than a distant threat.

  • Extreme weather events caused more than USD 200 billion in direct damages globally in 2025, Panetta said.
  • That figure is more than double the level of direct damages recorded in the early 2000s.
  • Panetta identified three priorities going forward: understanding climate risks better, sharing and absorbing them more effectively, and investing more decisively in reducing exposure and vulnerability.
  • The first Green Swan Conference was held in 2021, when climate change was already recognised as a major long-term risk.
  • The 2026 conference is jointly organised by the BIS, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, Banca d'Italia and the NGFS.

BIS paper weighs AI's climate benefits against its own energy footprint

A BIS working paper by Leonardo Gambacorta and Salvatore Polizzi examines the two-way relationship between artificial intelligence and climate change. It covers AI's direct environmental footprint, its potential contribution to mitigation and adaptation, rebound effects, and two stylised scenarios for how capabilities might evolve. The authors set out why the AI-climate nexus bears on potential output, inflation and financial stability.

  • BIS Paper 174 was published on 8 October 2026 and runs to 27 pages, authored by Leonardo Gambacorta and Salvatore Polizzi.
  • The paper finds AI can improve energy efficiency and climate forecasting while its development raises electricity demand and, depending on carbon intensity and timing, associated emissions.
  • The authors assess two stylised scenarios: an AI copilot path with gradual build-up and uncertain net effect, and a transformative AGI path with larger and more uncertain benefits and risks.
  • The paper states the AI-climate nexus can influence potential output and inflation dynamics, while the scale and financing of AI and energy investment may have financial stability implications.
  • The views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the BIS or its member central banks.

NGFS chair says 2025 extreme-weather losses hit $200bn, double 2000s average

DNB President and NGFS Chair Olaf Sleijpen used a Frankfurt sustainable finance speech to lay out early estimates of this summer's European heat damage and present NGFS case-study findings on 31 extreme weather events from 2021-2025. The speech frames adaptation as a second-best policy and argues scenario analysis shows transition costs are now smaller than unmitigated climate damage.

  • Sleijpen cited an early, unofficial estimate that combined weather effects could cut EU GDP by around 1% this year, approximately €180 billion.
  • Coceral estimated Europe lost almost 9 million tonnes of grain crop this summer, with a financial loss of about 2 billion euros.
  • NGFS case studies of 31 extreme weather events from 2021 to 2025 found GDP losses ranging from 0% to more than 50% and inflation increases of 0 to 17 percentage points.
  • Global extreme weather damages recorded in 2025 exceeded $200 billion, double the average annual amount recorded in the 2000s, according to Sleijpen.
  • Oxford Economics estimated adverse weather could add more than 1 percentage point to food-price inflation next year.
