and Establishing Academic Relevance
Identifying the Research Gap
•Limited sector-specific research on climate change impacts ; primarily explored in sectors such as tourism, mining, and agriculture industry
•Diverse views on climate change's financial impact; some studies suggest negative effects, while others highlight sector/context dependency
•No research has been conducted on the luxury sector regarding this topic
Academic Need and Relevance
•Significance of the luxury sector: The luxury goods sector plays a crucial role in global economies, requiring an in-depth understanding of the
risks it faces from climate change.
•Vulnerability of luxury brands: Raw materials derived from ecological processes are the core value proposition of luxury brands, making
them particularly susceptible to climate change risks.
•Investor interest and financial markets: Given the substantial market value and global presence of luxury brands, understanding the impact
of climate change risks on their financial performance is essential for informed decision-making and resource allocation by investors.
Research Question
