Smiling faces all around as the 2nd Climate Finance Symposium of the year draws to a close.
Our two-day Climate Finance symposium featured eleven distinguished speakers including Olaf Adam from Westpac New Zealand, Diana V. Barrowclough and Guy Finkill from United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Andreas Hoepner from University College Dublin, Jesse M. Keenan from Tulane University, Vassili Kitsios from CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere, Michael Lebbon from EMMI, Martina Linnenluecke from Macquarie University, Ben Marshall from Massey University, Irene Monasterolo from EDHEC Business School, and Sanel Tomlinson from External Reporting Board (XRB). Our speakers provided valuable insights and shared their latest research in the areas of climate/ sustainable finance.
We also had 22 papers presenting across 7 themes, namely, Policy and Big Picture, Physical Risks and Asset Values, Transition Risks, Debt, Bonds and Banks, Climate Risk Disclosure and ESG, Physical Risks: Extreme Events, and SRI, Asset Allocation and Derivatives.
With the event being a smashing success, the Climate and Energy Finance Group (CEFGroup) looks forward to many more professional workshops in the coming year!
