Sustainable Finance a Decade after the Paris Agreement

A convening of leading scholars in sustainable finance reflect on the responsibilities of business and finance in addressing the climate crisis.  

Ten years after the Paris Agreement, climate risks are intensifying and the need for decisive action has never been greater. What is the responsibility of businesses and financial institutions? How are they undertaking the transition to a climate neutral economy?  

This dialogue brings together three distinguished academics: Prof. Patrick Bolton of Imperial College London, Prof. Adair Morse of UC Berkeley, and Prof. Dirk Schoenmaker of RSM. Together, they will explore the role of businesses and financial institutions in the transition to a climate neutral economy. Join us to engage in a timely and forward-looking conversation. 

This event is held in celebration of Erasmus University Rotterdam’s 112th Dies Natalis, when Prof. Patrick Bolton is to be awarded an honorary doctorate. The event is organised by the Erasmus Platform for Sustainable Value Creation at RSM.
