Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate risks, including physical, transitional, and regulatory risks, are increasingly affecting asset management, investment strategies, and financial risk management practices. As markets respond to environmental uncertainties, policy changes, and regulatory shifts, understanding how these risks influence financial decisions becomes crucial.
This Special Issue aims to examine how climate risks affect financial markets, particularly in terms of asset valuation, portfolio allocation, and risk management strategies. We seek contributions exploring the impacts of physical risks (e.g., extreme weather events, rising sea levels), transitional risks (e.g., shifts in policy, technology, and market behavior), and regulatory risks (e.g., evolving climate policies and disclosure requirements). Research on stress testing, scenario analysis, and innovative financial tools for managing climate risk is especially encouraged.
By bridging climate finance, asset management, and risk management, this Special Issue aims to provide valuable insights that will help strengthen financial resilience and guide decision makers in navigating the challenges presented by climate-related risks
