New Regulatory Expectations for Climate Risk Management

The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) issued guidance in late 2025 (SS5/25) that sets out enhanced expectations for UK insurers (and other financially regulated firms) in managing climate-related financial risks. As part of these requirements, all regulated organisations must carry out a gap assessment and develop remediation plans by 3 June 2026. The guidance covers critical areas such as governance, risk management, climate scenario analysis, data, and disclosure, marking a significant evolution from previous standards and bringing a new level of clarity and consistency to the regulatory landscape.
