By Susanna Rust2021-03-12T12:42:00+00:00 Further pensions industry requests have been formulated of the UK government due to residual concerns about its proposals for climate risk reporting and governance requirements for occupational pension funds. This is according to feedback to a Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) consultation on draft regulations and statutory guidance, which it developed taking into account responses to its initial proposals on the topic in August last year. Specific requests include that the DWP work with the financial markets regulator to ensure that “relevant levels of skills and climate knowledge are part of the authorisation regime for investment consultants and managers” – a point made by the Pensions & Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) in its response to the consultation.
