US war on Iran shows renewable energy is an inflation management tool The growing energy crisis shows that fossil fuels present a systemic risk to the global economy, and that the energy transition is a monetary policy imperative.

Recurring fossil fuel price shocks show reliance on fossil fuels is a systemic threat to financial stability. In contrast, renewable energy offers clean energy sovereignty at near-zero marginal costs, insulating economies from volatile "fossilflation" cycles.

Fossil fuel dependence is now a macroeconomic risk driving global inflation and eroding financial stability, says @andreassieber.bsky.social. The only route to long-term energy security and resilience is a renewable energy transition.

New research makes the case for a US federal reinsurance programme to alleviate skyrocketing insurance costs. The government would cover only the most extreme catastrophic climate risks, leveraging its lower cost of borrowing capital to help stabilise the housing market.

The US government as a federal reinsurer? These researchers think it’s possible To address climate risks and lower costs for homeowners, the US government should create a reinsurance programme, according to a gorup of academics.

Iran oil price shocks have the ECB considering its next moves War in the Middle East has put pressure on the ECB to raise interest rates, but experts say this will increase the cost of the green transition.

The @ecb.europa.eu  is under pressure to raise interest rates to tackle the current oil price shock, but experts warn this won't stabilise volatile oil prices and will instead increase the cost of the energy transition.

US public pensions should use more proxy voting to make firms go green, report says US pension funds are not fully utilising their voting power, although some are upholding proxy voting on climate despite political hostility towards ESG.

New @sierraclub.org report reveals most US public pensions are failing to take full advantage of proxy voting to manage climate-related financial risks, and political hostility to ESG caused a significant decline in shareholder proposals in 2025.

AI has the potential to transform financial regulation, and central banks are exploring it can tackle complex challenges and large data sets. Researchers are conscious about the impact of AI’s energy and water use, however targeted use could still reduce emissions.

Pakistan's solar boom protects economy from oil and LNG disruptions Pakistan is set to avoid the worst of the fuel price rises from the Strait of Hormuz closure, thanks to its quiet solar revolution.

Pakistan's rapid expansion of solar power has paid off, saving  billions in oil and LNG imports since 2020, providing relief from spiralling energy costs while the Strait of Hormuz remains cloed. But rigid LNG contracts have become a costly liability, say energy analysts.

Japan's GX transition bond was never about decarbonisation Hailed as a world-first, Japan's sovereign transition bond has funded industries with little evidence of reducing emissions, says energy analyst Noriaki Oba.

Japan's sovereign transition bond is channeling funds into national industrial policy under the banner of green transformation. Energy analyst Noriaki Oba says the definition of "transition" is so broad that it includes non-climate projects, suggesting weak guardrails.

Bridging the climate data gap: why central banks must align emissions data systems With two different systems for assessing emissions data, aligning the frameworks is essential to achieve policy objectives, says economist Sayuri Shirai.

Economist Sayuri Shirai says misalignment between emissions data systems must be addressed to avoid inconsistencies and misleading conclusions, and the way the EU has linked ETS data with corporate disclosure standards can be a model for Asian countries.

Mounting climate and physical risks threaten economic foundation, says Singapore minister As Singapore unveils its first climate adaptation plan, scientists warn against the limits of shock adaptation as the world nears tipping points.

Physical risks are increasingly material threats to Singapore's economic foundation, says government minister Indranee Rajah. The city could see 2-metre sea-level rise that would put key areas at risk. Read more >>

Sea-level rise should be seen as budget and finance issue: former Indonesian minister Rapid Himalayan glacier melt threatens not just Asia's water supply but economic stability as the scale of flooding surpasses that of prior disasters.

Former Indonesian finance minister says sea-level rise must be treated as a critical fiscal issue, rather than an environmental risk, but high indebtedness hinders many Asian countries' ability to secure financing. What's the solution? Read the story for more >>

Work on green transition still needed amid geopolitical fragmentation, says BdF deputy governor Fragmented geopolitics, data gaps and climate underpricing are all challenges for the EU's net-zero transition, say speakers at research conference.

The financial system must shift from merely absorbing climate shocks to financing the green transition, economists at a @banquedefrance-off.bsky.social / @bundesbank.de conference said, warning the social cost of carbon and transition investment costs are probably underpriced.
