Climate risk

Definition

Climate risk refers to the potential negative impacts of climate change on economic, social, and environmental systems. It encompasses both physical risks, such as the impact of extreme weather events, sea-level rise, and changes in temperature and precipitation patterns, as well as transition risks, such as policy, legal, technological, and market changes needed to address mitigation and adaptation requirements related to climate change.
