In this paper, we show how existing IAMs generally omit any representation of a financial sector. We then discuss the potential impacts of climate change policies and climate change events on the financial sector as shown in the existing literature. We underline how the structure of the financial sector itself could impact the carbon trend of the economy. We then see how these specific linkages between the financial and the climate sector can be represented in new types of IAMs, and how they have already started to be addressed, notably in the stock-flow consistent models literature. We conclude on the necessary convergence agenda between climate policies addressing the financial goals in article 2 of the Paris Agreement and financial sector reforms to dampen the intrinsic financial instability.
