Abstract
This study examines how climate physical risk (CPR) and climate transition risk (CTR) influence systemic risk spillovers across China's economic and financial sectors. Using a quantile connectedness approach, we estimate the intersectoral risk spillovers. The results show that CTR significantly exacerbates these spillovers, particularly in energy-intensive sectors, while CPR's impact is less pronounced. Moreover, we uncover an interaction between CPR and CTR and show that CTR's effects intensify during periods of heightened economic policy uncertainty. These findings reveal climate risks' critical threat to economic and financial stability and suggest developing prudential regulations to mitigate climate-induced systemic risk.
