We invite you to join us in this year’s conference, which will build around the grand theme of ‘Costs and Opportunities of Commitment to Net-Zero’. Making a successful, timely, and smooth transition to a net-zero model of economic activity—where the environmental footprint of economic activity is carefully monitored, abated and if necessary—is seen by many as imperative to thwart the risk of irreversible climate damage.
On the second day of this two-day event, we delve deeper into our program with a series of academic research presentations that will explore the following themes:
Conference Themes:
- Sustainability and the intersecting roles of finance, technological innovations, policies and regulations
- Climate finance and risk management
- Transition frameworks and pathways for decarbonization and clean (and low-carbon) energy solutions
- Green supply chains, responsible consumerism, and carbon border adjustment mechanism
- Sustainable usage of resources, including pollution management
