- Supply chain disruptions due to climate events (extreme rainfall and drought, tropical cyclones)
- Regulatory risks (carbon taxes, emissions trading systems, uncertainties in new regulations)
- Technological risks (demand for low-carbon products and services, investments in new technologies, low-carbon technology transformation)
- Water shortage risk
