Without decisive action on the climate change, studies show that, in the lifetime of our children, the European Union (EU) will see 400,000 premature deaths per year due to air pollution, 90,000 deaths from heatwaves, 40% less available water in the southern regions of the EU, half a million people exposed to river flooding each year, and 2.2 million people exposed to coastal flooding each year (European Commission, 2019).
The role of banking in preventing or reducing these effects is not straightforward. This chapter will provide an overview of the European Green Deal and the European Commission’s strategy for financing the transition to a sustainable economy. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks are defined and explained, and the necessary implementations for sustainable finance and ESG risk management within banks will be outlined. There will also be a detailed look at the Covid-19 pandemic and its interconnectedness with some aspects of ESG.
