Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the Call for Papers for the Special Issue of Annals of Operations Research, entitled “Climate Transition and Operational Risk Modelling: Implications for Supply Chains and Financial Decision-Making”, has been published.

We particularly welcome applied and methodological operations research studies that address these challenges in an innovative and rigorous manner. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Robust stochastic optimization methods for climate transition risks

- Portfolio optimization and risk-adjusted return modelling under climate policy uncertainty

- Credit and counterparty risk assessment under low-carbon transition scenarios

- Risk-sharing mechanisms and insurance models for climate-related disruptions

- Supply chain risk management in climate transition

- Operational decision-making in emission trading schemes and carbon pricing

- Predictive modelling of carbon stranding risk via supervised learning

- Machine learning and big data analytics for climate risk scenario classification

- Natural language processing applications in climate policy risk analysis

- Bayesian network approaches to modelling climate transition risk propagation

- Agent-based models of climate transition dynamics and systemic effects.

Submission deadline: December 31, 2026
