representatives, and other practitioners. The conference will include both high-level roundtables, where
practice, policy and research will meet, and parallel sessions, where research papers will be presented.
Emerging scholars will have the opportunity to present their work in an emerging-scholars side-event.We encourage original contributions, preferably fitting in the following five DebtCon5 topics:
- The COVID-19 Shock and its Unparalleled Consequences
- Climate Debt: the Risks from Climate Change to Sovereign Debt
- Rethinking Fiscal Rules and Sustainability

We also warmly welcome original academic or policy-relevant contributions from different fields on other
sovereign debt topics, including the design and pricing of sovereign debt contracts, the link between debt
transparency and debt vulnerabilities, debt-forgiveness and its potential impact on human rights, civil society
and political conflicts, and also historical, sociological or anthropological perspectives on the law and
economics of sovereign bond markets.
