EBA ESG dashboard update shows stable climate risk indicators

The European Banking Authority (EBA) published the latest edition of its ESG risk dashboard, integrating data up to the second quarter of 2025. The dashboard reflects recent changes in banks’ exposures to climate risks and aims to support institutions and authorities in managing these risks.

The update confirms continued stability across major climate-related risk indicators, consistent with previous patterns. Banks’ exposures to sectors significantly contributing to climate change remain elevated at around 62%, emphasizing the importance of climate-sensitive industries in their non-financial corporate portfolios.

Data quality has improved, with banks’ reliance on proxy indicators decreasing by approximately 10 percentage points since December 2023. Exposures secured by immovable property showed strong energy-efficiency scores.

Physical risk metrics remain heterogeneous across jurisdictions, likely due to methodological differences among institutions, reflecting the complexity of measuring physical risk across diverse European regions.

With this edition, the ESG Risk Dashboard is now part of the Data Access Portal (EDAP), the EBA’s central supervisory data hub for the EU/EEA. This integration enhances transparency and accessibility, allowing users to access all supervisory data tools in a single environment.

The dashboard presents data from nearly 120 large EU/EEA banks, reporting under Pillar 3 ESG disclosure requirements, ensuring comparability across institutions.
