Nepal Bankers’ Association (NBA) is proud to announce the publication of our landmark report, “Assessing Climate Transition Maturity of Nepali Commercial Banks 2025”. The study represents a significant step forward in our collective journey toward sustainable finance and a resilient financial system. The study serves as an essential roadmap for Commercial Banks as they work to integrate climate-related considerations into their operations and support Nepal’s transition to a low-carbon future.
Utilizing the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) Framework, the study assessed all 20 Commercial Banks across four critical pillars: Governance, Strategy, Risk Management and Metrics & Targets. The findings reveal that while the majority of banks are currently in the “Discovery Phase”, most institutions have expressed the ambition to reach “Developing” or “Advanced” maturity levels within the next two to three years. The report has also provided some strategic set of recommendations for regulators, industry bodies and development finance institutions to bridge current climate transition gaps.
