“Climate-related risks are a source of financial risk” (NGFS, 2018). High time for central banks and other financial policymakers to organize themselves around this issue. Numerous initiatives, such as
the Network for Greening the Financial System, have sprung up: Evidence for a growing consciousness among regulators and financial industry that a changing climate and shifting policies hold considerable risks, not only for carbon intensive industries.
But how could financial policymakers ensure a timely low-carbon transition while preserving economic prosperity? How will the responsibilities, costs and benefits be distributed? Will the private financial system align to societal objectives?
We invite you to discuss these questions with our distinguished panel.
When: Tuesday, October 22nd, 18:00-20:00
Where: Clubraum, Library Center [LC 2.400], Wirtschaftsuniversität, Welthandelsplatz 1.
Emanuele Campiglio, Assistant Professor at the WU Institute for Ecological Economics, will chair the event. Our panel will react to and discuss a statement by our guest Josh Ryan-Collins, before we open up the floor to audience questions.
The event is free of charge. Please register for this event using this link.
