European Commission: Workshop on Sustainable Finance: the way forward

The Joint Research Centre and the Accounting and Finance Group at the University of Padua are hosting a workshop on the importance of sustainable finance in today’s economic landscape and its intersections with economic prosperity, environmental preservation, and societal well-being.

Human and business activities pose significant threats to planetary resources. Meanwhile, sectors like oil and gas, food, forestry, insurance, and real estate are particularly susceptible to risks arising from regulatory changes, shifts in agricultural productivity, and depletion of natural resources. Against this background, the event will prompt a reflection over questions, issues and inquiries about opportunities and challenges in sustainable finance, focusing on key areas including measurement and reporting, valuation, policies, and markets.
