Abstract

The purpose of this article is to give a brief overview of what economists have attempted to study concerning climate change. Climate change and the financial system must be understood holistically. Our awareness of the immediate effects of climate disasters is also crucial, even though most studies focus on distant effects. We will examine the climate change relationship with financial system, and will discuss strategies that the financial sector could possibly implement for addressing climate change. This study identifies the causal relationships between the financial system and climate change, including adaptation and mitigation in the short period and concentrates on three specific areas, including bank behavior, asset prices, and insurance and, thus, it is found that both climate change and the financial sector are deeply entwined. As a result, this study aims to investigate the interactions and to make recommendations for policy makers.
