This template is a practical compliance toolkit that converts the key obligations in the Federal Decree-Law No. (6) of 2025 Regarding the Central Bank, Regulation of Financial Institutions and Activities,and Insurance Business into three operational checklists for financial institutions: (1) Licensing and permitted activities (including controls to prevent unlicensed activity or promotion), (2) Governance and authorized individuals (board/senior appointments, fit-and-proper evidence, approvals, and accountability), and (3) Ongoing supervision, reporting, and inspection readiness (regulatory calendar, evidence packs, related-party exposures, and supervisory response processes)

This toolkit is a practical, audit-ready compliance tool that translates the CBUAE Climate-related Financial Risk Management Regulation (Circular 8/2025) into a structured, end-to-end checklist system for banks and insurers.

This template is an end-to-end Climate Transition Plan implementation pack designed to turn a bank’s climate ambition into an audit-ready, “bankable” plan with clear governance, quantified baselines, time-bound targets, financed delivery actions, and evidence trails.

The session delved into how financial institutions in the UAE can integrate climate-related financial risks into their governance frameworks, strategy, risk management and disclosures in compliance with the new regulatory requirements.
