Climate and environment

Climate change and environmental degradation are inextricably linked, and each require immediate and significant action to avert potentially irreversible impacts.

Climate and nature-related risks have the potential to affect asset values, operational costs and business models, not only through increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events and biodiversity loss, but also as the transition to a net-zero economy accelerates.

These risks, transmitted through the economy to NatWest Group, continue to evolve, reflecting increasing regulatory, legislative, political and societal change. Likewise, our response continues to develop.
