Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to address gaps and limitations in the literature regarding firms’ exposure to climate risks. It reviews existing research, proposes new theoretical frameworks and provides directions for future studies.
Design/methodology/approach
A bibliometric and systematic approach is used to review the literature on firms’ climate risk exposure. The study examines current theoretical frameworks and suggests additional ones to enhance understanding.
Findings
This study contributes to the climate finance literature by offering a comprehensive overview of firms’ climate risk exposure and used theories. It emphasizes the urgent need to tackle climate change and the crucial role of firms in climate risk management. The study supports the advancement of sustainability policies and highlights the importance of understanding firms' climate risk exposure.
Practical implications
This study informs the development of climate risk management strategies within firms and supports the implementation of effective sustainability policies.
Social implications
Addressing climate risks can contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future for society as a whole.
Originality/value
This study provides a roadmap for future research by identifying gaps and limitations in the literature. It introduces new perspectives and theoretical frameworks, adding original insights to the field of study.
