The latest scenario findings from the IPCCs Sixth Assessment Report, including the NGFS scenarios, will be presented, highlighting robust findings, key uncertainties, and scenario limitations relevant to the financial sector.

The use of climate scenarios to inform targets (such as the targets defined by the Science-Based Targets Initiative), will be discussed. We will discuss some concrete cases, such as assessing transition risk related to oil and gas activities. During the workshop, participants will be invited to discuss what information they need to respond to new regulatory initiatives and common challenges in assessing climate transition risk. 

Outcomes: A summary of key challenges that users have in assessing climate transition risks, that CICERO will address in the next year of its StressTest research project.
