The Asia–Pacific Journal of Financial Studies (AJFS) invites manuscripts for a special issue on “Banks and Climate Risks,” scheduled for publication in 2025. AJFS became the first finance journal published in the Asia-Pacific region covered by the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) in 2006. Visit
http://wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/ajfs for additional information about the Journal.
This special issue invites both empirical and theoretical papers on broad ranges of topics and geographies related to Banks and Climate Risks. A central theme is bank and policymaker optimization – banks seeking opportunities to manage their own risks as they tackle climate-related financial risks, and policymakers respecting this choice when making their own optimizing decisions in regulation, supervision, and enforcement. We include, but do not limit, contributions to:
· Physical and transition climate risks;
· Bank credit, market, and operational risks;
· Private-sector banks, state-owned banks, special-purpose banks;
· National, regional, and global policymaking organizations;
· Geographies covering Europe/Africa/ Americas/Asia/Australia/Global.
AWARDS:
Up to four (4) papers will be selected and US$1,000 awards will be granted to each selected.
