Abstract

Climate change is becoming increasingly critical for global economic development and financial stability. This study uses the Tail Event-driven Network (TENET) method to integrate a Climate Change Attention index, derived from China Central Television News, into a risk contagion network to examine how climate change influences systemic financial risk. The results show that incorporating attention to climate change reduces systemic financial risk, whereas high- and low-carbon sectors exhibit heightened sensitivity. The Diversified Financials sector show reduced spillover to high-carbon industries, but strong connections with low-carbon industries are maintained. Overall, increased attention to climate change drives capital shifts in the Diversified Financials sector from high- to low-carbon industries, reducing network connectivity and systemic financial risk. These findings offer a novel theoretical perspective on climate-related risk contagions.
