Contenuti

Environmental impact assessment and climate change interferences in production and in economic systems are urgent matters to be taken into account by future regulatory policies and mitigation strategies. In this setting, the role of finance as a facilitator of the transition process is recognized to be pivotal and allows us to ethically reshape its goal into a societal service for the common good. Therefore, the aim of the WS is to open a discussion about very urgent frontier topics and to favor cross-fertilizations and synergies between academy and the business world.

The WS agenda is organized into two main thematic groups of lectures, focused on ESG-related topics and on CLIMATE RISK, respectively. Each group will be followed by a slot dedicated to an open discussion which actively involves the audience. The encounters will be offered both onsite and online.
