About this Research Topic
Given the urgent need to promote corporate green and low-carbon transformations in the context of climate change and achieving net-zero emissions. This, this Research Topic aims to combine original research from diverse disciplines and perspectives to explore this complex theme. This could include investigating strategies to encourage government and enterprises to accelerate renewable energy transformation, foster green innovation, improve ESG performance, and effectively respond to physical and transformational risks. This Research Topic also calls for researchers and practitioners to collaboratively develop effective sustainable development strategies that address pressing issues such as energy poverty, carbon inequality, and financing constraints. Overall, the purpose of this Research Topic is to promote understanding and dialogue around the complex relationship between climate risk and green, low-carbon transformations, and to identify potential policies and solutions that can help enhance adaptability to climate change. These studies will contribute to mitigating the adverse effects of climate change, promoting the adoption of green production methods, and improving green governance performance.
The subtopics include, but are not limited to:
• Technical measurement of physical risk and transformation risk in enterprises;
• Climate risk and renewable energy transformation;
• Climate risk and green innovation;
• Climate risk and green and high-quality development of enterprises;
• Green finance in the context of climate risk;
• Green low-carbon transformation with energy poverty and carbon inequality;
• Evaluation of the effectiveness of green and low-carbon transformation policies;
•The synergy benefits of low-carbon and net-zero carbon technologies, carbon reduction policies, and other mitigation or adaptation measures;
• Innovative policy or governance instruments in response to climate risk.
Keywords: climate risk, green and low-carbon transformation, economic impact, policy response
