"In contrast to much of the economics literature, we found that #ClimateChange could have material effects on economies and #CreditRatings as early as 2030. "

This is for entire countries. Lower credit ratings mean higher interest rates, paid by taxpayers.

As an aside: this paper has no data for many African countries: their credit ratings are already low today, climate change will add to the #redlining.

"First, in contrast to much of the economics literature, we found that #ClimateChange could have material effects on economies and #CreditRatings as early as 2030.

Second, if countries honoured the #ParisAgreement and limited warming to below 2°C, the impact on ratings would be minimal.

Third, we calculated the additional annual costs of servicing #debt for countries to be between US$45–67 bn for a low-emissions scenario, and US$135–203 bn for high emissions."

Heads Up CEO! Cyber Risk Influences Company Credit Ratings
Wall Street Journal - credit-rating agencies are placing greater emphasis on how companies handle cyberattacks. Cybersecurity has now become part of the assessment of creditworthiness. https://securityintelligence.com/articles/cyber-risk-influences-company-credit-ratings/ #CyberSecurity #riskmanagement #CreditScore #CreditRatings #CEO #CISO

Companies are dedicating more resources to protecting their assets because the potential risk that cyberattacks have against their credit is “real and significant,” said Scott Kessler, the global sector lead for technology, media and telecommunications at Third Bridge, an investment research firm. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/03/21/credit-ratings-increasingly-looking-cybersecurity/ #CyberSecurity #riskmanagement #CreditRisk #CreditRatings
