Conference on International Finance; Sustainable and Climate Finance and Growth

This conference channels the intellectual and social spirit of  the Infiniti Conference 2003-19, with a new focus on the intersections of climate finance, green finance, international financial markets and integration, and finance for sustainable growth.

Theme 

We welcome all papers and workshops in the broad fields of International, Climate and Green finance, welcoming in particular their interactions with each other and how they can aid the sustainable growth of economies, corporations and organizations. Papers that examine these issues on their own are welcomed, but papers which examine the overlaps, interstices, conflicts and concordances are highly welcome! For more information see here.
