In brief
This research touches the UK rates market and sterling, since any shift in how the Bank of England frameworks climate shocks could alter the expected path of borrowing costs; bond and currency traders typically reprice when central bank thinking evolves.

What are you watching now? Should central banks formally incorporate climate policy scenarios into their rate-setting frameworks, or does that risk blurring their core inflation and employment mandates?

The strongest case for folding climate scenarios into rate-setting is that climate policy shocks, such as a sudden carbon price rise, can move inflation and output in ways a standard mandate-focused model misses. But I'd push back on the framing: a working paper exploring optimal responses is not the same as a framework change, and the sterling repricing argument assumes markets read it as policy signal rather than research. Before treating it as a rates catalyst, what would the paper need to show about the size of these shocks relative to ordinary supply shocks?
