Disaster risk for Banks' risk management

Climate risk affects financial intermediaries through physical and transitional risk (related to increased operating costs due to R&D investments to support the transition to a low-carbon economy). Central banks are increasingly interested in understanding how climate risks translate into financial risks. The project aims to develop a measure of climate risk to which small and medium-sized Italian companies are exposed. Attention will be paid to a measure exogenous to the individual company, and subsequently, geographic/sectoral information will be combined with firm-specific measures.

Deadline: 31st January 2023

Policies and equity financing instruments to support circular economy

The project's overall goal is, first, to develop a robust and fully replicable methodology to identify companies operating in the circular economy field in Europe, given the shortcomings of the existing classification methods. The research aims to analyze the enabling factors for the development of European circular economy firms, with a focus on EU-level and country-level targeted policies and regulations and on the different sources of financing available for these companies. The research also aims to analyze the extent to which the implementation of policies and regulations affects the equity offered by VC funds.

Organizational boundaries for sustainability transition

Socio-economic systems are called to face important sustainability challenges, which require a more efficient use of resources at the company level and supply chains.

The research also aims to understand enablers and barriers to the development of transition paths toward sustainability.

Physical and transition risk assessment in the context of the credit function and market bond financing

The project aims to develop: (i) key risk indicators capable of estimating exposure to physical and transition risks; (ii) a mapping of exposure to physical and transition risks to get at an exhaustive taxonomy of the exposure of Italian companies to these risks; (iii) an analysis of how the banking system assesses climatic and environmental risks and how this affects territorial growth.
