In Yasotha’s words

Original post

Is your team just "tagging" climate risk, or are they managing it?

In banking, we spend a lot of time perfecting circulars and risk policies. But after decades in the industry, I’ve learned that climate risk isn’t solved by a well-written document.

It’s solved when a Relationship Manager sits down with a client and asks the right questions.

It’s solved when CCPT isn’t just a compliance checklist, but a tool for strategic positioning.

It’s solved when we stop asking "Is this form complete?" and start asking "Is this business future-ready?"

In 2026, my focus is clear: Bridging the gap between high-level policy and frontline practice. We need to move from awareness to application.

If your institution is looking to build real climate judgment capability, not just tick boxes; let’s connect.
