I would like to start by thanking the organisers, the Information Management Network and Jade Friedensohn, for the kind invitation, and all of you for being here so early in the morning.
Let me also note that there is the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) as a place for global discussions related to the issue of climate change. The Bank of Japan has joined this network and is looking forward to working with the NGFS member institutions and contributing to the discussions.
