Applications for Policy Makers & Practitioners

The CLIMAFIN Toolbox (PDF, 2 MB) provides risk and impact metrics to integrate climate physical and policy risk into standard financial risk measures (e.g. Value-at-Risk, Battiston et al. 2017) and classify banks’ individual projects and derive overall portfolio’s contribution to climate adaptation/mitigation as opposed to portfolio’s contribution to climate vulnerability (Monasterolo et al. 2017).

The FINEXUS Leverage Network Framework for Stress-testing is a Matlab software based on the works (Battiston et al. 2016 Leveraging the Network; Visentin et al. 2016) that allows to conduct a stability analysis of financial networks according to several models of financial contagion. It is currently being extended to include also the Asset Network Valuation Framework (NEVA, Barucca et al. 2017).
