### Key findings on current supervisory practice
- Integration of climate-related risks into supervisory processes in the Netherlands faces various challenges, similar to other jurisdictions.
- Supervision has been proactive in:
  - researching exposures to climate-related risks;
  - designing tools to assess how financial institutions identify, monitor, and manage these risks.
- Supervisors have been gradually developing approaches and methodologies to support the supervisory process.
- Many initiatives and projects from Dutch supervisors have been influential in the international debate on climate risk supervision.

### Identified gaps and necessary developments
- Authorities need to translate strategic measures into a concrete roadmap to ensure that the process of setting up climate risk supervision is systematic and continues at a sufficiently ambitious pace.
- Going forward, climate risk supervision must strengthen:
  - quantitative tools;
  - data sets.

### Principal recommendations (summary)
- Enhance the supervision of banking and insurance activities in the Netherlands by:
  - converting strategic measures into a concrete, time-bound roadmap for climate risk supervision;
  - expanding and strengthening quantitative supervisory tools for climate risk assessment;
  - improving data collection and data sets to support quantitative analysis and monitoring;
  - continuing development of methodologies and approaches to integrate climate risks into supervisory processes.
