Organised by FINEXUS, the Center for Financial Networks and Sustainability, the event is aimed at reconciling sustainability and finance by narrowing existing gaps between analytical methods, financial instruments and governance processes.

This three-day conference bridges academic research, industry and policy expertise. Practitioner sessions present success stories from leading experts and discuss how the insights from research could help to address the challenges faced by the financial industry and by policy makers. Research sessions report the latest findings from leading scholars in the field and discuss the future avenues of research. Confirmed speakers for the event include: Joseph Stiglitz (Columbia University), Mafalda Duarte (Head of Climate Investment Funds) and Graeme Maxton (Secretary General of Club of Rome). For more information, visit the FINEXUS website.
