Theme: Effects of Climate Change Risk on Accounting, Finance, Auditing, and Corporate Governance

Special issue call for papers from International Journal of Climate Change Strategies and Management

Background

Climate change has become a critical environmental narrative of the 21st century. The climate is no longer just the subject of meteorologists but is also one of the critical risk factors for the business world. The use of nature as a raw material to meet the inexhaustible needs of the population, and the failure to manage this usage have triggered climate change. Nowadays, there are new stakeholders besides creditors, tax authorities, shareholders, customers, and suppliers that companies need to account for when considering the environment and future of their business.

In this special issue, we will focus on the effects of climate change on corporate governance; especially the regulations, application, reporting, and accountability in accounting, finance, and auditing. These three areas, which provide the foundation of financial statements and accountability for companies, have been under severe pressure for many years about the environment. Disasters caused by climate change are reflected in the financial statements. Floods, whirlwinds, freezing temperatures, tsunamis, and ice rains, among other disasters, have led to the loss of company assets, the cancellation of contracts and the loss of customers. These circumstances require strategic decisions to be made by the management. However, managers and corporate understanding of climate change and related energy issues remains fragmented, incomplete, and lacking the urgency this problem deserves. The international climate change regime started very constructively, but although there has been progressing over the last 25 years, this progress falls short of what is needed to address the climate change problem.

This special issue aims to highlight recent developments, problems, and solutions on Climate Change Risk (CCR) in corporate governance, accounting, finance, and auditing. Studies that are of most interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Determining and addressing physical risks, regulatory risks, market risks on CCR by publicly held companies,
