Dataset for the climate-related financial policy index (CRFPI).

Data Brief

Published: June 2023

Data on the climate-related financial policy index (CRFPI) - comprising the global climate-related financial policies adopted globally and the bindingness of the policy - are provided in this paper for 74 countries from 2000 to 2020. The data include the index values from four statistical models used to calculate the composite index as described in [3]. The four alternative statistical approaches were designed to experiment with alternative weighting assumptions and illustrate how sensitive the proposed index is to changes in the steps followed to construct it. The index data shed light on countries' engagement in climate-related financial planning and highlight policy gaps in relevant policy sectors. Researchers could use the data provided in this paper to study green financial policies further and compare countries, highlighting engagement in specific policy areas or the entire spectrum of climate-related finance policy. Moreover, the data might be used to investigate the relationship between green finance policy adoption and credit market changes and assess their effectiveness in managing credit and financial cycles in the face of climate risks.

Background: Climate change poses significant threats to the health and safety of communities worldwide. Extreme weather events can disrupt critical infrastructure and overwhelm emergency medical services (EMS) systems. As the frequency and intensity of these climate-related disasters continue to increase, it is essential that EMS organizations develop robust strategies to enhance their resilience.

Climate change has heightened the need to understand physical climate risks, such as the increasing frequency and severity of heat waves, for informed financial decision-making. This study investigates the financial implications of extreme heat waves on stock returns in Europe and the United States. Accordingly, the study combines meteorological and stock market data by integrating methodologies from both climate science and finance.

Contesting crisis narratives amidst climatic breakdown: Climate change, mobility, and state-centric approaches to migration.

Human mobility in the context of climate change is often identified as one of the largest future impacts of the climate crisis. It is often assumed by international institutions and national governments that climate change will drive mass migration movements across borders, leading to a prioritization of research that aims to predict future climate migration to aid border security and the creation of migration policies. This article focuses on knowledge production research concerning around climate-related mobility and how knowledge being produced upholds state-centric approaches to migration and migration management.

Background: Home health agencies (HHAs) provide vital community-based services for older adults. Under-resourced HHAs that are disconnected from broader community emergency planning efforts may struggle to maintain services during emergencies. As climate-related disasters become more prevalent, HHA services are increasingly at risk, and policymakers have focused on the services they provide to older adults.
