We constructed an Actuary Climate Index to measure extreme weather risks in China. Analyzing macroeconomic data through a structural vector auto-regression model suggests that a negative weather shock leads to persistently low GDP and credit obtained by non-financial firms. In our regression...

Global energy security is a growing worldwide concern in the presence of high economic policy uncertainty (EPU) that can be addressed by advancing sustainable energy diversification (ED) practices. Energy security can be estimated by combining ED and EPU indices; hence, this study uses a dataset...

The systematic review delves into the multifaceted impacts of climate change on food security across Africa, analysing variations across regions and socio-economic contexts. It identifies threats such as altered precipitation patterns, temperature rises, and intensified extreme weather events,...

Climate change and environmental degradation constitute challenging and demanding issues that need mitigation and adaptation strategies and plans, as well as scientific research to test the causality between economic growth and pollution levels. From this viewpoint, the present theoretical...

Climatic shocks introduce additional complexities to individuals’ lives and influence their critical decisions, both present and into the future. We utilise longitudinal administrative data on Australian individual retirement contributions to present the first estimated effects of natural...

To identify sectors in Croatia that are particularly sensitive to the European Union's measures for transitioning to a low-carbon economy, this paper analyses data from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on greenhouse gas emissions. The aim is to identify the...

This paper applies an interdisciplinary approach that integrates climatology with economic and financial analysis to investigate in detail the effects of climate change on the economy and financial system of Croatia. Using geospatial analysis of data from the IPCC and Copernicus programs,...
