Call for Papers: 2026 International Symposium on Climate, Finance, and Sustainability (ISCFS-2026)
CONFERENCE DATES
25 Jun 2026 - 26 Jun 2026
LOCATION
House of Management Science, Paris Pantheon-Assas University (1 rue Guy-de-la-Brosse 75005 Paris, France)
DESCRIPTION
Climate change, resource depletion, technological disruption, and social inequalities are all pressing issues. How we have approached these problems may no longer be sufficient. The urgency of climate action, the need for sustainable development, and the critical role of finance in achieving both present unprecedented challenges. New situations call for new ways of thinking to mitigate climate change through financial solutions and sustainable investments and to adapt to its impacts by building resilience and securing financial resources.
Given these perspectives and imperatives, we are pleased to announce the 2026 International Symposium on Climate, Finance, and Sustainability (ISCFS-2026). Jointly organized by AVSE Global and Paris-Pantheon-Assas University, in partnership with the Climate Economics Chair (University Paris Dauphine – PSL), the Department of Land Economy at the University of Cambridge, and the UMI SOURCE at the University of Paris-Saclay, the Symposium aims to bring together a global community of leaders, experts, and innovators to address the above-mentioned interconnected issues. It also intends to serve as a focal point for new thoughts, developments, and challenges interrelating climate, finance, and sustainability.
The Symposium will take place in person on 25–26 June 2026 at the House of Management Science, Paris Pantheon-Assas University.
