Climate change will increase the cost of sovereign and corporate debt worldwide according to new research led by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and the University of Cambridge. Published today in the journal Management Science, the study is the first to anchor climate science within “real world” financial indicators. It suggests that 59 nations will experience a drop in sovereign credit ra
