Description

Scientific Committee for Sustainable Finance, Special Interest Group, Accounting and Finance Association of Australia and New Zealand conference 2023
Context: This year the AFAANZ Finance SIG will host a workshop on sustainable finance. Sustainable finance and managing climate risk are becoming two of the most important issues facing investors and financial regulators. The financial risks and opportunities associated with climate change are particularly acute in Australasia. The aim of the workshop is to encourage community building among researchers interested in sustainable finance in Australasia. The focus of the research need not necessarily be on Australasia though (global studies and those focusing on other regions are welcome). Preference will be given to ECRs. We take a broad definition of sustainable finance-related topics (see list of topics below) and we welcome submission from a range of methodological approaches (empirical analyses, theoretical, macroeconomic/monetary-environment models, case studies, policy analyses etc.).
Indicative Topics: Paper topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Transition risk in equities, bond, derivative and sovereign markets
Physical risk such as sea level rise, extreme temperatures, drought and wild fires
Climate and environmental accounting
Climate disclosures – accounting standards, TFCD implementation, taxonomies
Liability risk – insurance claims and litigation associated with climate change
Carbon markets and carbon taxes
ESG investing
Green bonds and impact investing
Green public finance and guarantees (incl. green investment banks and funds)
Financial innovation to meet financing gaps (e.g. securitising green loans)
Monetary policy and climate change
