On the 16th of January 2025, the European Banking Authority launched a public consultation on its draft Guidelines on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) scenario analysis. The draft Guidelines establish principles to test institutions’ financial resilience to ESG-related shocks, starting from climate, as well as the resilience of their business model to several plausible scenarios, including the achievement of EU’s climate neutrality by 2050.

Comments to the Consultation Paper can be submitted by the 16th of April 2025. The EBA will hold a virtual public hearing on the 17th of March 2025 from 14:30 to 16:00 CET. Interested stakeholders are invited to register at this link by the 13th of March 2025 at 16:00 CET.
