From Text to Value: Measuring and Pricing Firm Climate Risk Exposure

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine how the prominence and tone of climate risk disclosures affect firm value and strategic climate positioning for large European nonfinancial companies. We developed a firm‐level climate risk exposure (CRE) index that assesses climate risks within corporate narratives across four EU categories: transition risk, physical risk ...

Climate Stress Testing on European SME Securitised Loans Under Climate Mitigation Scenarios

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Assessing the future impact of climate risks on the probability of default (PD) of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is challenging due to limited disclosure, policy uncertainty and exposure to physical risks. This paper addresses this gap by integrating macroeconomic variables from the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS ...

Seasonal stratification and complex local dynamics control the sub-surface structure of marine heatwaves in Eastern Australian coastal waters

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
Marine heatwaves are extreme seawater temperature events that can have severe impacts on marine life. The extent of the ecological damage depends not only on the easily observed surface signature but on the marine heatwave structure at depth.
