"As of yet, virtually none of the institutions in the scope of the assessment would meet a minimum level of disclosures," the ECB said in a report."Institutions do not yet comprehensively disclose their risk profile and ... significant efforts are needed to promote transparency in the financial markets on the climate-related and environmental risks institutions are exposed to," it added.

The ECB was also unveiling new guidelines on the matter, with a view to reviewing the sector's progress and take measures in 2022.
