- Increasing occurrence of extreme weather events posing risks to production, transportation, and supply chain
- Higher requirements on corporate greenhouse gas emission management increasing administrative costs
- Increase in carbon transaction price increasing operating costs
- Government shift to “dual control” on carbon emission intensity and total volume increasing investment in energy conservation and emission reduction
