This paper proposes a multi-criteria strategic analysis methodology for enterprise carbon risks, integrating regulatory, market, operational, financial, value-chain, reporting, and reputational blocks into an integral carbon risk index. It …

Shu Shang, Yanxi Li

Using panel data from Chinese A-share listed companies (2008-2023), this paper empirically examines how climate risk affects corporate sustainable innovation. It finds that climate risk significantly inhibits R&D inputs and patent outputs, …

This commentary examines the health impacts of climate change through extreme precipitation, wildfires, and heat waves, highlighting methodological challenges for health services research, including data gaps and exposure misclassification.…

Kazuhiko Ito, Kathryn Lane, Carolyn Olson

This paper describes NYC Health Department's decade of work on heat-related mortality: lowering heat emergency thresholds, analyzing heat-stroke deaths (85% at home, none with working AC), developing a Heat Vulnerability Index, and linking …
