Abstract: Climate change and nature degradation expose banks to new financial risks. Since 2020, three levers have enabled the public authorities to bring about changes in the practices of French banks: the development of forward-looking tools (scenarios, stress tests), the strengthening of supervision and, since 2026, the requirement to draw up a prudential transition plan.

Le changement climatique et la dégradation de la nature exposent les banques à de nouveaux risques financiers. Depuis 2020, trois leviers ont permis aux autorités publiques de faire évoluer les pratiques des banques françaises : le développement d’outils prospectifs (scénarios, stress tests), le renforcement de la supervision et, depuis 2026, l’exigence d’élaborer un plan de transition prudentiel.
