NGFS-GRASFI-INSPIRE exchange – 1st edition – Capital stranding cascades: The impact of decarbonisation on productive asset utilisation

This is the first in a series of NGFS-GRASFI-INSPIRE exchanges, designed to strengthen the connection, collaboration and research exchange between the central bankers, financial supervisors and the academic community to share and explore new and innovative research that advances the agenda on greening the financial system. New editions will occur monthly and will be co-organised by the NGFS Secretariat, INSPIRE and GRASFI (the NGFS’ two designated global research stakeholders).

In this edition, introductions and motivations will be shared by Romain Svartzman (Banque de France; NGFS secretariat), Peter Tankov (Institut Polytechnique de Paris; GRASFI) and Ilmi Granoff (ClimateWorks Foundation; INSPIRE)

Emanuele Campiglio (Vienna University of Economics and Business) will present his research “Capital stranding cascades: The impact of decarbonisation on productive asset utilisation”, co-authored by Louison Cahen-Fourot (Vienna University of Economics and Business), Elena Dawkins (Stockholm Environment Institute), Antoine Godin (Agence Française de Développement Institut für Makroökonomie und Konjunkturforschung) and Eric Kemp-Benedict (Stockholm Environment Institute).

New Research Frontiers for Greening the Financial System: INSPIRE workshop

The International Network for Sustainable Financial Policy Insights Research and Exchange (INSPIRE) is an independent network purpose-built to commission insights from best-in-class scholars and analysts in all parts of the world. As well as commissioning new research, INSPIRE also seeks to communicate the results widely and convene researchers, policymakers and practitioners. The focus of INSPIRE is on the research challenges facing central banks and supervisors as they work to identify their role in responding to environmental challenges, such as climate change.

In April 2019, the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS), an international coalition of 30+ central banks and supervisors, published its first comprehensive report on the state of practice, identifying key priorities for future action, including a range of research questions. INSPIRE along with GRASFI have been chosen by NGFS to be Global Research Stakeholders.

The aims of the workshop are: first, to provide an opportunity to explore the NGFS’ research agenda in-depth; second, to share knowledge and experience from across the INSPIRE network, including from its first call for research proposals; third, to generate useful insights for both policymakers and researchers: a synthesis report will be produced and published in October.
With the research gaps to be filled becoming clearer to central banks and the research community, it is now time to drill deep into the critical issues that need further exploration. To this end, the workshop will address one specific central issue from each NGFS workstream as well as a critical cross-cutting priority
