Description:
We are pleased to announce that the 2026 Climate Finance & Policy (CFP-2026) will be hosted by AVSE Global, Nottingham Business School, University of Bari Aldo Moro, University of Groningen, and University Paris-Saclay. The conference will be held on 08-09 October 2026, in Bari, Italy.
The future of climate action depends on innovative approaches across business, finance, management, and accounting. Addressing climate change requires rethinking the mobilization and allocation of financial resources (e.g., loans, grants, and domestic budgetary funds) to support mitigation, adaptation, and resilience, alongside forward-looking and effective policy frameworks.
CFP‑2026 aims to provide a dynamic forum for scholarly dialogue and in‑depth examination of emerging developments in climate finance (e.g., green bonds, carbon markets, and impact investing) as well as related domains, including sustainable business, ecological risk management, supply chain finance, and operations management. The event will offer participants a platform to critically examine how evolving policy frameworks are shaping these innovations and unlocking new pathways for sustainable development. By engaging with cutting‑edge research and policy debates, participants will gain insights to anticipate future trends and actively contribute to building a climate‑resilient, prosperous global economy.
