Firstly, the sensitivity of asset prices to this new BMG factor gives us a market measure of climate transition risk that does not involve naturally outdated fundamental climate metrics. Secondly, adding this BMG factor to asset pricing models significantly and robustly improves previous BMG factors used in the literature. We contribute to the nascent literature on climate factors by improving the climate risk measure of enabling activities: we achieve the isolation of companies that allow others to reduce their climate risk and that are challenging to capture when using only greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or previous BMG factors, due to their high carbon intensities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Climate Finance","volume":"7 ","pages":"Article 100042"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141286391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research focuses on identifying the mechanisms underlying the issuance of SCBs in developing countries to unlock climate investment from capital markets and what they imply for facilitating just transitions. The research bridges scholarship across three fields: policy innovation, climate finance and just transitions, undertaking semi-structured interviews in two samples: SCB direct managers and intermediary and expert organisations. Drawing on Seychelles’s blue bond and Indonesia’s green sukuk as case studies, the research found that gaps in the public budgets of both countries were the main triggers for issuing SCBs and internationally, the influence of international organisations (World Bank and UNDP). Domestically, national wealth, access to international markets, alignment of the instruments' characteristics with political agendas and compatibility with regulations were key factors. SCB benefits, such as capital mobilisation, new investors and transparency, were perceived to outweigh additionality concerns or reputational risks (though higher transaction costs compared with non-green issuances remained a consideration). SCBs may be used as political statements in support of climate agendas, surpassing the perceived benefits of the mobilised capital. A legacy of exclusive dynamics in private markets remains a structural barrier for SCBs to be transformational in addressing climate change. Risk-return rationales and the exclusion of climate from countries’ risk profiling place developing countries in a more challenging position. While these instruments may not be sufficient to close the climate investment gap, they have an important role to play.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Climate Finance","volume":"7 ","pages":"Article 100041"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949728024000117/pdfft?md5=092645c4f2664e139a5019630a5ff935&pid=1-s2.0-S2949728024000117-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141135406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An environmental dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (E-DSGE) model shows that increasing uncertainty about environmental policies is associated with a subsequent decline in investment, as firms prefer to postpone investment decisions. The decline in physical investment within polluting sectors subsequently induces a fall in employment, consumption and output. Using a novel climate policy uncertainty index developed by Gavriilidis (2021), alongside Google Trend data index, the paper shows that uncertainty about climate regulations has both recessionary and inflationary effects, corroborating the theoretical findings. Further analysis suggests that appropriate monetary policy tools could moderate the welfare cost arising from the environmental policy uncertainty, emphasizing the need for Central Banks to adopt a more aggressive stance in stabilizing GDP and inflation in the face of environmental policy uncertainty shocks.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Climate Finance","volume":"7 ","pages":"Article 100040"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140918945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Together with the option implied volatilities of core food inputs (wheat, maize, rice, and soybean), we model the time-varying volatility spillover from ENSO to each commodity, capturing the direction and intensity of risk transference. Simulating Gaussian and non-Gaussian impulse responses that mimic an increase in climate variability show a persistent impact on the price uncertainty of the commodities lasting up to three months. We also show that shocks are contingent on the phase of ENSO, with warmer conditions in the Eastern Pacific (i.e., the El Niño phase) increasing risk transference for soybean and rice. In contrast, the La Niña phase has a material influence on the uncertainty of wheat and maize.

Despite increases in energy costs, it has become virtually impossible to recoup energy-efficiency renovation costs through energy cost savings, with many projects bringing substantial losses. The common method of third parties offering rotating finance to ease the initial costs, and being repaid after short payback periods, therefore no longer works. On the other hand, rooftop photovoltaics have decreased sharply in price, and continue to do so. This study explores the economics of installing photovoltaics, with or without heat pumps, along with energy-efficiency renovation, based on two typical case study apartment buildings in North Rhine-Westphalia. Using fine-grained energy flow modelling and net-present value cost-benefit analysis, it finds that energy-efficiency renovation brings losses of over 80% but that these can be substantially reduced by the gains from rooftop PV, especially when a heat pump is included. The larger the PV system, the larger the gains, but roof size limits this. The study recommends that shared rooftop PV systems be promoted as the norm with comprehensive energy-efficiency renovation in Germany.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Climate Finance","volume":"7 ","pages":"Article 100039"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949728024000099/pdfft?md5=1f20dfe9c2e3b9647328da876efd428e&pid=1-s2.0-S2949728024000099-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140545729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
