Shedding light on climate-related risks and opportunities for Canadian credit unions

Understanding climate risks and opportunities is paramount to ensuring credit unions are well-positioned to navigate change and protect the financial security of their clients. To share lessons on how we’ve adopted and implemented recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, we led sessions on climate risk and engaged in dialogue on climate action with many of the largest credit unions in the country.

“Through our initial work with Co-operators, we better understand our risk exposure and how we can mitigate these risks. It’s critical that as we face an uncertain future, credit unions across Canada take steps to understand the climate risks facing their portfolios and begin to take necessary action now.“
