As an area of common concern, Governors of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) central banks and monetary authorities^[1] agreed on the need to undertake a study for ASEAN central banks to better understand, manage and respond to climate and environment-related risks.

The Report assesses the implications of climate and environment-related risks on both financial and monetary stability, the roles and limits of central banks and puts forward a set of non-binding recommendations that can be considered by central banks in the region. It consciously considers the ASEAN context, perspectives and state of readiness.
