Gan, ChristopherHo, Linh2024-09-012025-06-012025-06-01https://hdl.handle.net/10182/17511Countries are working hard to reduce global warming to meet the Paris Agreement’s temperature limit to 1.5°C-aligned targets. However, the State of Climate Action 2023 (World Resources Institute, 2023) urgently alarmed that global efforts are falling behind the required pace to minimize climate risks. Governments have passed environmental legislations/regulations to protect the environment; however, this is not quick enough to achieve the 1.5°C-aligned targets. The Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) proposed a framework for disclosing climate-related financial information in June 2017 (TCFD, 2017). Recently, a few countries such as New Zealand, Switzerland, and Japan have passed climate-related disclosure (CRD) regulations that mandate firms to disclose climate-related information in line with the TCFD recommendations. Following this lead, other countries are issuing consultation papers to make CRD mandatory (for example, Australia, Singapore, and the US). It is important to understand how the CRD regulations affect the socio-economic-environmental dynamics, investor and business sentiment, and other market factors. Based on this sphere, this Special Issue highlights the “Climate-related Risks and Opportunities towards Zero-emission Economies”, focusing on how the socio-economic dynamics, including business and finance, are impacted by climate-related risks in the transition process towards a greener economy. This Special Issue targets all studies using theoretical, empirical, and case study approaches. The possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * Circular economy; * Climate-related disclosure/reporting; * Climate-related macroeconomic risks; * Climate-related transition risks; * Climate-related financial risks; * Climate and green investments; * Decarbonizing energy and industry; * Eco-tourism; * Energy, economy, and climate relations; * Environmental social governance; * Environmental risks; * Global greenhouse gas emissions; * Green finance; * Green transition; * Low-carbon energy.climate reportingclimate riskclimate-related disclosure (CRD)low-emission economyEdited Volume1911-8074ANZSRC::35 Commerce, management, tourism and servicesANZSRC::38 Economics
