Climate change is a major problem, generating both risks and
opportunities that will have a direct impact on the economy and the
financial sector. In recent years, climate change has threatened
both the survival of the financial system and economic development.
The growing occurrence of extreme climate events combined with the
imprudent nature of economic growth can cause unsustainable levels
of harm to the financial sectors. On the other hand, it presents a
range of new business challenges. In contrast to the most evident
physical risks, companies are vulnerable to transformational risks
that arise from the reaction of society to climate change, such as
technological change, regulation and markets that can boost the
cost of doing business, threats to the profitability of existing
goods, or effects on the value of the asset. Climate change also
offers new business opportunities, and it has made research in the
context of a sustainable financial sector indispensable. The
Handbook of Research on Climate Change and the Sustainable
Financial Sector focuses on the impacts of climate change on
various sectors of the world economy. This book covers how
businesses can improve their sustainability, the impact of climate
change on the financial sector, and specifically, the impacts on
financial services, supply chains, and the socio-economic status of
the world. Beyond focusing on the impacts to the financial industry
itself, this book assesses how climate change in the financial
sector affects the well-being of society in areas such as
unemployment, economic recessions, decreases in consumer purchases,
and more. This book is essential for stockbrokers, business
managers, directors, fund managers, financial analysts, consultants
and actuaries, institutional investors, policymakers,
practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested
in a comprehensive view of the impact of climate change on the
financial sector.
Due to natural factors and human activity, nature has been changing
since the beginning of time. As the environment continuously
undergoes such transitions, it is necessary for society to
understand the complex interdependency between nature and humanity
to promote global sustainability. Promoting Global Environmental
Sustainability and Cooperation is a pivotal reference source
featuring the latest scholarly research on the rising awareness of
environmental issues and their relationships with sustainable
development. While highlighting topics including global governance,
international business, and sustainable consumption, this book is
ideally designed for environmentalists, developers, policy makers,
academicians, researchers, and graduate-level students seeking
current research on the globalized world in relation to
environmental issues.
