\nSustainable finance and managing climate risk are becoming two of the most important issues facing investors and financial regulators. The IPCC notes that limiting global warming to 1.5\u00b0C requires annual average investment of around US$ 2.4 trillion. Climate risks to the financial system are profound and can be understood through Mark Carney\u2019s taxonomy of physical, transition and liability risks.<\/p>\n
The Climate and Energy Finance Group (CEFGroup) welcomes submissions of papers for its inaugural academic climate finance symposium. We welcome papers in all areas of climate, sustainable, energy and carbon finance.<\/p>\n
Symposium Tracks<\/strong><\/h2>\nWe intend to divide the symposium into four broad tracks. Day one will have a policy and Asia-Pacific orientation, where we welcome less technical policy oriented research. Day two will focus more on conventional empirical and theoretical finance papers, as well as innovative quantitative approaches (GIS modelling, simulation, stress testing, linking climate and financial modes etc.).<\/p>\n
