This report aims to help these stakeholders better understand the human and economic risks that climate change poses to the region and to provide them with a starting point for discussions about opportunities for action. This report outlines the potential human and economic impacts of climate change on APEC member economies and the benefits to mitigating these impacts. It then outlines the climate-related risks to financial institutions and how financial system regulators can help institutions to manage these risks. It concludes with a discussion of the policy, regulatory and market barriers to scaling-up institutional investors' contributions to climate finance and solutions to each. In doing so, this report aims to capitalize on the unique and exciting opportunity provided by the 2019 APEC Investor Forum for policymakers, financial sector regulators and investors from across APEC member economies to share insights on the interconnected climate change challenges that they face and to provide a starting point for discussions about opportunities for action. 2020-03-05T22:00:57Z 2020-03-05T22:00:57Z 2020 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/800471583320302307/Climate-Change-in-APEC-Assessing-Risks-Preparing-Financial-Markets-and-Mobilizing-Institutional-Investors http://hdl.handle.net/10986/33423 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Other Environmental Study East Asia and Pacific East Asia Southeast Asia Australia Japan United States
