About

The accelerating global climate change risk highlights the importance of a quick transition towards a “cleaner” world. Although steady progress has already been made globally, substantial improvement cannot be achieved without sufficient financial support, especially during the post-COVID-19 recovery period, where countries worldwide have to prioritize the economic recovery which might limit the support for climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Firms are the main greenhouse gas emitters and their contributions to the green transition thus are of vital importance to achieving a low-carbon transition. However, firms normally lack motivation to make green efforts, even worse, the business lockdowns and the supply chain disruptions during the pandemic have further weakened their already minimal commitment to mitigating climate change risks.

We encourage all aspects of research concentrated on corporate climate risk management, which include but are not limited to:

• How does climate risk affect businesses?
• What are the impacts of climate policy and regulation on businesses?
• How do executive characteristics affect corporate climate actions?
• How environmental, social, and governance (ESG) schemes are embedded into corporate strategic decisions?
• What are the internal and external driving factors for corporate green practices?
• Trade-offs between corporate climate risk management and financial performance
• What are the impacts of corporate green practices on emissions abatement and pollution reduction?
• Climate change mitigation and adaptation-oriented venture capital and private equity
• Corporate climate resilience strategy in the post-pandemic era
