Climate transition risk, the generated from the transition to a low-carbon economy due to changing policies, can have cross-border impacts. In this paper, we study the transition risk spillover among six major financial markets globally from 2013 to 2021. We evidence the transition risk...

This literature overview conducts a systematic study of how the climate related risks from global warming may affect financial markets. The climate related risk is divided into three subcategories, the environmental uncertainty, the economic climate risk and the climate policy risk, which all of...

The financial system could play a main role in achieving the global climate targets by aligning investment flows to sustainability. However, investors are still largely exposed to carbon-intensive assets that could become stranded. In addition, they are not pricing yet climate risks and...

Climate change has been recently recognised as a new source of risk for the financial system. Several financial supervisors with a financial stability mandate have recently recommended that investors and financial institutions need to assess their exposure to climate-related financial risks and...

While climate change was largely tackled by government policies in the past, central banks are increasingly grappling with the risks climate change poses. They are evaluating their operational policies to reflect these risks and the transition to a net-zero economy. This paper explores the...

Mitigating climate change requires aligning real economy investments with climate objectives. This pilot study measures the climate consistency of investments in transport infrastructure and vehicles in Latvia between 2008 and 2018, estimated at EUR 1.5 billion per year on average. To do so,...

We analyze jointly optimal carbon pricing and leverage regulation in a model with financial constraints and endogenous climate-related transition and physical risks. The socially optimal emissions tax is below the Pigouvian benchmark (equal to the direct social cost of emissions) when emissions...

Central banks and financial supervisors approach "green finance" mostly to preserve macroeconomic and financial stability according to their mandates. Obviously, climate change poses severe risks to households, firms and their financial intermediaries. These risks tend to be correlated and their...

This paper provides an overview of current government schemes promoting corporate reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and analyses their main building blocks. It describes the drivers and challenges for governments, companies and investors in dealing with GHG reporting and includes 4...

This paper investigates the impact of firm-level climate change exposures (CCE), including opportunity, physical, and regulatory climate shocks, on mergers and acquisitions. Using CCE measures derived from earnings conference calls by Sautner et al. (2023), we find that firms facing higher...
