Against this backdrop, this paper systematically explores the relationship between digital finance development and corporate climate risk disclosure using a sample of Chinese  \nA-share listed firms. The research demonstrates that digital finance development significantly promotes corporate climate risk disclosure, a conclusion that remains valid after multiple robustness tests. The study also reveals that digital finance drives climate risk disclosure through alleviating financing constraints, strengthening environmental responsibility, and enhancing reputational incentives. Further analysis indicates that institutional pressure positively moderates the relationship between digital finance and corporate climate risk disclosure; moreover, the impact of digital finance on corporate climate risk disclosure exhibits significant heterogeneity depending on regional factors (rule of law environments and the supply level of digital economy policies), and corporate characteristics (top management backgrounds, lifecycle stages, and equity nature) . These findings provide theoretical references and empirical support for balancing digital finance innovation and climate risk governance.  \n1. Introduction  \nGlobal climate change has evolved from an environmental issue into a systemic economic risk [ 1 ,2] . The 20th edition of the Global Risks Report by the World Economic Forum points out that extreme weather events are undoubtedly one of the most urgent risks in the immediate, short-term, and even long-term. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) also indicates that the climate system has undergone substantial changes on both spatial and temporal scales. As global extreme weather events have become more frequent, the impact of climate risks on economic development has attracted widespread attention. Given that climate risks are global, long-term, and often  \nPLOS One | [https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0340383](https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0340383) January 6, 2026 1 / 28  \ncollection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript.  \nCompeting interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.  \nirreversible, a comprehensive assessment of climate-related risks and opportunities, along with prevention of “green swan” events, critically depends on corporate climate risk informat","cbCail9bRoGIMLmQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail9bRoGIMLmQ","pdf",937074,28,"English","# Introduction\n## Global climate risk as an economic systemic risk\n## Corporate climate risk information disclosure as governance and compliance","[{\"question\":\"What is the document’s main research question?\",\"answer\":\"It examines the relationship between digital finance development and corporate climate risk information disclosure.\"},{\"question\":\"What overall effect does digital finance have on disclosure?\",\"answer\":\"Digital finance development significantly promotes corporate climate risk disclosure, and the conclusion holds after multiple robustness tests.\"},{\"question\":\"Through what channels does digital finance influence climate risk disclosure?\",\"answer\":\"It operates by alleviating financing constraints, strengthening environmental responsibility, and enhancing reputational incentives.\"}]","Digital finance and climate risk information disclosure - Research Article | PDF",1790710284,71]
