Rae emphasized that the launch of CRMS is a manifestation of OJK's support in managing climate management risks and a step towards achieving the net-zero emission (NZE) target by 2060.
"So, this becomes a role for all of us stakeholders, including the banking sector, which plays significant role in channeling low-carbon financing in line with government policies," Rae said at the CRMS Launch event in the Setiabudi area, South Jakarta, on Monday.
He outlined three urgencies of the CRMS launch for the banking sector. First, because Indonesia is one of the countries vulnerable to the impacts of climate change phenomena.
"Indonesia ranks third in countries most exposed to physical risks, and seventh in the world for highest emissions," he remarked.
Second, urgency is to support global and Indonesian NZE commitments.
Third, urgency is the need for CRMS to become an international direction and standard regarding climate change issues.
"Moreover, the concept of CRMS for banks also consists of governance, strategy, and risk management that can be used as guidance in facing climate change," Rae stated.
It's known that the CRMS guidelines for the banking sector consist of six books.
Book 1 is the General Guide, Book 2 is the Technical Guide, Book 3 is Emission Calculation, Book 4 is NGFS Data, Book 5 is Disaster Data, and Book 6 is the CRST Working Paper.
OJK's CRMS guidelines are a living document, or will continue to be perfected following regulatory developments, best practices, and stakeholder interests.
