Definition
Physical Risks are typically defined as risks which arise from the physical effects of climate change and environmental degradation. [1]
They can be categorised either as acute - if they arise from climate and weather-related events and an acute destruction of the environment, or chronic - if they arise from progressive shifts in climate and weather patterns or a gradual loss of ecosystem services.
