Low-carbon transition risks for finance

SOAS University of London
In the absence of a unified framework of the interaction of real and financial aspects of the transition, one set of studies conceptualises and quantifies asset stranding and other transition costs in declining industries, and a separate literature estimates the potential impact of these transition costs on the financial system.

This working paper classify and review the types of risks and impacts such a combination will likely have to consider.
