The topic of this workshop is climate-related financial risks, that is, the risks that climate change might destabilize the financial system through a variety of channels. This workshop is the first event held by the Bank of Japan on how climate change interacts with the economy and the financial system.
Today, I would like to begin by offering my thoughts on the relationship between climate change and central banks. I will then share my view on climaterelated financial risks, and outline the efforts being made by the Bank of Japan. To conclude my remarks, I would like to touch on what we can expect from the discussions at this workshop. I.
