Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainability risk refers to uncertain and adverse economic, social, or environmental conditions under which businesses operate. Over the recent years, events such as the global financial crisis, international trade frictions, the COVID-19 pandemic, and climate change have unprecedentedly impacted the world economy, elevating both the short-term and long-term sustainability risk facing firms, households, and policymakers. This Special Issue will address different subjects related to the broad topic of managing sustainability risk. We aim to publish novel research on the various factors of sustainability risk, including macro or micro factors or interaction between them; the integrative approach to managing the risk; and the new opportunities that may be available to companies and investors because of changing economic, social, or environmental conditions. Theoretical and empirical research papers focusing on one or more of the above-listed issues are welcome, whether from an economics or a finance perspective or from both. Contributions that have important policy and practical implications for managing sustainability risk are of particular interest.
