U.S. financial regulators have argued that the risks that climate change poses for large financial institutions are outside of their core regulatory mandate. This article argues that oversight of the largest financial institutions' financing of significant amounts of fossil fuels and other...

Aligning investments to the climate and sustainability targets requires the introduction of stable climate-aligned policies. In this regard, a global Carbon Tax (CT) and a revision of the microprudential banking framework via a Green Supporting Factor (GSF) have been advocated. However, our...

Using a stock-flow-fund ecological macroeconomic model, we analyse (i) the effects of climate change on financial stability and (ii) the financial and global warming implications of a green quantitative easing (QE) programme. Emphasis is placed on the impact of climate change damages on the...

This paper is an introduction to climate change risk for the financial sector (banks and investors). We propose to cover how it emerged, what it means for financial institutions, what are the specific types of approaches to address it as well as current related developments in the industry, how...

This paper quantifies the loan exposure to elevated environmental risk sectors of the banking system in the USA, EU, China, Japan and Switzerland in US$1.6tn, broadly in line with the findings of Battiston et al. (2017) and Weyzig et al. (2014). This paper also explores prudential policy...

The urgency of estimating the impact of climate risks on the financial system is increasingly recognized among scholars and practitioners. By adopting a network approach to financial dependencies, we look at how climate policy risk might propagate through the financial system. We develop a...

I propose a rare disaster model of an economy where disasters are driven by CO2 levels that are determined by inputs of carbons from the firms of the economy. The probability and intensity of disaster are determined in part by the level of CO2 in the environment. In turn, disasters affect the...
