RFQ for Development of a Climate Risk FrameworkClosed

Overview

The Land Bank invites bids to develop a Climate Risk Framework aligned to TCFD/IFRS S2 and integrated into the Bank’s Enterprise Risk Management Framework. The framework will cover Governance, Strategy, Risk Management and Metrics/Targets; address physical and transition risks; apply NGFS scenarios using SA data sources; and be co-owned by the Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Agri-Economist with integration into ESRA, ESG risk register and credit risk processes. Deliverables span ~5 months in four phases, with implementation roadmaps for embedding into risk and credit processes.

Who should bid: service providers with proven climate risk framework design/implementation, NGFS scenario analysis, IFRS S2/TCFD expertise, and enterprise risk management experience; familiarity with SA risk data tools.
