Water risks, including the lack of access to fresh water for personal and industrial use, droughts, floods, and water contamination, are problems that are not new, yet, they are amplifying in the face of climate change, population growth, and rapid economic development. Properly identifying, measuring, and managing these risks as well as taking advantage of related mitigation opportunities is essential for the future well-being of firms across various industries, investors who invest in these firms, local and federal governments, and ultimately our society as a whole. This edited book sheds light on this topic by examining the unique measurement and modelling challenges associated with either the scarcity or overabundance of water and their interaction with finance and society. Specifically, it explores approaches to assess and operationalize water risk, examines the vulnerability of institutions and markets, and discusses strategies for risk mitigation.

Today's financial sector faces multiple challenges stemming from ecological, societal, and technological risks such as climate change, political extremism, and cyber-attacks. However, these non-traditional risks are yet to be fully identified and measured, in order to ensure their successful management. This edited collection sheds light on the topic by examining the unique measurement and modelling challenges associated with each of these risks, and their interaction with finance. Offering a comprehensive analysis of non-traditional finance risks, the authors provide the basis for developing appropriate risk management techniques. With new approaches to protect against emerging threats to the financial sector, this edited collection will appeal to academics researching sustainability, development finance, and risk management, as well as policy-makers and practitioners within the banking sector.

Das Auslandsgeschiift entwiekelt sieh immer mehr zu einem Schwerpunkt im Leistungs- programm deutscher Kreditinstitute. Seine Bedeutung ist in den vergangenen Jahren ins- besondere aufgrund der Grtindung weiterer Bankniederlassungen im Ausland sowie durch die Erweiterung der Palette intemationaler Bankgeschafte urn neue, innovative' Leistungsinhalte gestiegen. Die analytische Aufbereitung des Auslandsgeschafts aus der Perspektive der Bankwissenschaft hat mit dieser Entwieklung nieht Schritt halten kon- nen. Es lassen sich unter anderem zwei Forschungsdefizite ausmachen: Zum einen wur- de den steuerlichen Aspekten im Zusammenhang mit dem Auslandsgeschiift deutscher Kreditinstitute wenig Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet. Zum anderen ist erkennbar, daB ent- sprechende Beitrage in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur sich meist auf spezielle, isolierte Aspekte konzentrieren, dabei also von der Einbettung dieser Aspekte in den Gesamtzu- sammenhang des Auslandsgeschaftes abstrahieren. Generelle Zielsetzung der Arbeit ist es daher, flir die Gestaltung des operativen Aus- landsgeschiiftes deutscher Kreditinstitute einen methodisch-konzeptionellen Handlungs- rahmen zu entwiekeln. Dieser Handlungsrahmen ist insbesondere an steuerliehen sowie an allgemeinen bankpolitischen Kriterien orientiert. Es wird zugleich iiberprtift, inwie- weit sieh dieser Gestaltungsrahmen auf den Bankplatz London als bedeutendstem Aus- landssrutzpunkt deutscher Kreditinstitute anwenden laSt.
