Abstract
The increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, dubbed “green swans,” necessitates a closer examination of their impact on financial systems and, specifically, investor behavior. This study investigates investor perceptions and knowledge of green swans, analysing their influence on investment decisions and preferences. Through a survey of 168 respondents, the study uncovers diverse knowledge levels concerning green swans and potential multicollinearity among survey statements, indicating the need for further research on investor responses to climate risks.The findings highlight a positive correlation between knowledge of green swans and consideration of climate change in investment decisions, suggesting that educational initiatives can play a pivotal role in equipping investors with the tools necessary to navigate green swan uncertainties. The study also underscores the significance of collaborative efforts from researchers, educators, and policymakers to build financial resilience in the face of green swan events.
