Abstract

The demand for modeling climate change and its effect on various affected financial and economic sectors is increasing. Sea-level rise is one of the major risks of climate change. Based on the global and regional mean sea level rise (MSLR), we propose extreme sea-level value at rise (ExSLVaR) and extreme sea-level expected rise (ExSLER) measures to forecast extreme MSLR calculated for the 10-day time series from eight seas/oceans from December 1992 to October 2020. Furthermore, we analyze the connection between different regional extreme MSLR measures (US, Europe, and Australia), used as proxies of climate risk, and financial market risk in several sectors. The main evidence shows that the different regional extreme MSLR measures forecast opposite effects, positive and negative, on financial and economic sectors over time, showing climate risk premium and cost, respectively. Specifically, the insurance sector presents the highest risk premium, and the oil and gas sector the highest risk cost. These measures are relevant for policymakers, regulators, and investors seeking strategies to mitigate future physical and transition risk while accounting for such risk in policies, regulations, and portfolio allocation.
