The European Central Bank stated on Monday that no major euro zone lender matches its expectations on climate and environmental risk, and it called for a faster adaptation of its supervisory expectations.

“Banks have taken initial steps towards incorporating climate-related risks, but none is close to meeting all supervisory expectations,” the ECB said in a statement.

“Only one-third of banks have plans in place that are at least broadly adequate, and half won’t have completed implementation of their plans by the end of 2022,” it added.
