We are pleased to announce a Call for Papers for the workshop on the theme
of “Environmental Finance for the Common Good”. This workshop is
co-funded bythe Money Marco and Finance Society (MMF) and the Department of
Management, Birkbeck College, University of London. This workshop will
take place at Birkbeck College on March 31st and April 1st 2022, with
simultaneous streaming as an online interactive event. We expect papers to
be presented on-campus. If the health situation does not permit group
gathering, the workshop will be converted into a virtual event.
This workshop aims to understand the investment implications of
environmental and social factors across different economies to achieve
greater common good. No country can afford to ignore the financial risks of
climate change. The workshop will focus on various topics in environmental
finance but aim to include studies from industrial countries and middle-
and low-income countries. It provides a platform for all people working on
environmental finance issues to discuss the latest insights and foster
dialogue between academics and practitioners. The voice from
“non-industrial countries” is often unheard. We hope to encourage
diverse voices and promote positive change for all through this workshop.
We invite submissions of papers that focus on environmental finance,
including research on sustainable investment, green finance, from all
relevant stakeholders active in environmental markets. In particular, we
encourage contributions from non-industrial countries. We welcome all
aspects of research on the following topics but are not limited to:
 	How firms respond to ESG issues
 	How to build resilience to climate change impact in developing countries
 	To identify emerging ESG issues from corporate sustainability disclosure
 	Investing for impact
 	ESG investing and integration
 	Responsible investment: Exploring the social dimension of ESG
 	Capital allocation to improve the sustainability of investments
 	How to finance the environmental transition in developing economies
 	The impact of green banks in mobilizing investments
The paper selection will represent a balanced view between industrial and
non-industrial studies. Papers will be reviewed by members of the Program
Committee. Authors of accepted papers are expected to be available to serve
as discussants. The final program will be made available by March 15th
2022.
