Abstract
Elevated expectations for how businesses will identify, assess, and manage climate-related risks as well incorporate climate risks into existing risk practices, are components of the emerging climate risk regime. Empirical and theoretical speculation in literature over risk culture changes, risk translations of climate risk, and contentions arising over risk roles and ownership constitute the combined focus of the discussions in this chapter.
