Popis: Resilience serves to assess the ability of financial markets to resist external shocks. The intensity and duration, used to indicate resilience, are calculated for China's financial markets in this paper, focusing on the performance of each financial market during and after several crises. Given that climate issues have been recognized as an important source of risk by financial markets, we also investigate the spillover effects and mechanism of China's climate policy uncertainty on its financial markets resilience. We have found that the two resilience indicators of each market have a relatively consistent trend, but spillovers among markets have different sensitivities to the both. In addition, China's climate policy uncertainty shocks its financial markets resilience by increasing the investor sentiment index and the non-performing loan ratio of commercial banks and by reducing the capital and financial account balance. It is further found that China's financial markets' consensus on the unswerving implementation of climate policy, which provides the reference for other countries on how to balance climate policies introduction and financial markets development.
