- Increased indirect costs due to enhanced emissions-reporting obligations (e.g., CA AB 802).
- Increased direct costs due to chronic physical climate-related events (e.g., droughts affecting cotton production).
- Decreased revenues due to acute physical climate-related events (e.g., hurricanes causing store closures).
