The South Korea Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) announced it will jointly hold an international conference with Ewha Womans University on “Next-Gen Climate Risk Management with AI and Tech” on 11 September 2025, focusing on how supervisors and firms can manage climate risk and the low-carbon transition using artificial intelligence and advanced technologies. In opening remarks, Governor Lee Chanjin outlined a supervisory direction that includes supporting the provision of green loans in sectors where carbon-reduction impacts are verified, introducing transition finance for projects with expected medium- to long-term emissions reductions, and supervising financial firms to embed climate response systems into overall management. The conference brings together supervisory officials from France and Korea, the Korea Meteorological Administration, financial institutions including HSBC, ING and MUFG, and research and data organisations including Moody’s and Bloomberg. Discussions cover AI-based supervision of climate risk management, climate risk management best practices, climate scenario development, and global energy market trends, alongside how the financial sector can balance economic outcomes and social costs during the energy transition and support those facing transition-related difficulties.
