Emanuele Campiglio will participate at the 'Banking on Climate Action: The role of Banks in the Climate Crisis' Symposium in St.Gallen

Emanuele will introduce his research at the Workshop Session 'Conceptualizing climate risk in finance: Beliefs, heterogeneous expectations, and professional perceptions' on February 5th. The workshop is part of the 'Banking on Climate Action: the role of banks in the climate crisis' symposium, which aims at bringing together researchers from across Europe and practitioners working at the intersection of banking, climate change mitigation and civil society. In view of recent pushbacks against sustainability initiatives, it also provides a forum to critically reflect on current developments.

Using a mix of speeches, workshops and discussion formats, experts will share their insights on key questions such as: 

• How has climate-relevant capital allocation in the banking sector evolved recently?
• How can civil society influence banks’ strategic and financing decisions?
• What role can transnational sustainable finance initiatives play in the future?
• How do financial professionals conceptualize climate risk?

The symposium offers rich opportunities for scientific exchange and networking. A public panel discussion allows participants to interact with recognized experts. In a poster session, PhD students will share interdisciplinary insights on the role of finance in the climate crisis.
