Abstract
Traditionally, the management of climate change issues has been the responsibility of environment ministers. However, due to its cross-cutting nature to international commitments and its growing impact on the economy and fiscal governance, finance ministers are called upon to play a key role in this matter. Indeed, finance ministers can no longer ignore the dangers that climate change poses to the real economy, financial stability, and public finance.
Climate-related risks—both physical climate risks and climate transition risks—can affect public finance through both microeconomic and macroeconomic transmission channels. Indeed, climate-related risks could cause direct and indirect fiscal impacts thereby deteriorating public finance.
Due to the effects of climate change, the government, and in particular the finance minister, may be called upon to play a kind of “lender of last resort” or, more precisely, the role of “insurer or bailout provider of last resort” for families, companies or even financial institutions.
Despite some uncertainties, geographical heterogeneity, and different legal systems, there is a strong likelihood that, to a greater or lesser extent, climate change will increasingly pose a challenge to public finance in the various jurisdictions.

According to the OECD report, under the title Building Financial Resilience to Climate Impacts – a Framework for Governments to manage the risks of losses and damages, it is important to distinguish between economic losses and damages whereby it is emphasized in this report that, while damages refer to the physical assets that are totally or partially destroyed in the affected areas that are measured in physical units (e.g., the number of damaged houses, roads, crops, and land) and assigned monetary values based on replacement costs according to prices prevailing just before the event, losses refer to changes in economic flows arising from an event from the date of its occurrence until full economic recovery and reconstruction (including the decline in output in productive sectors such as agriculture, industry, and services) OECD - Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (2022).
