From Edinburgh to London: evidence, innovation and collaboration for climate finance
Evelyn Partners, 45 Gresham Street, London, EC2V 7BG
About this Event
Overview
Held as part of London Climate Action Week, we will be showcasing how collaborative research between the University of Edinburgh and industry partners is being applied to real-world challenges in finance. The event will be a space for practical exchange and exploring future collaboration between academics, policy makers, investors and finance professionals.
We will explore how research across fields including mathematics, law, AI and geoscience can inform business decision-making, financing, policy and regulation. You’ll have the opportunity to connect with academics whose work is helping to:
– Assess climate and nature-related financial risks and their business impacts
– Strengthen carbon accounting methodologies and reporting accuracy
– Transform corporate sustainability disclosure through AI-driven tools
– Model and quantify extreme weather events and their economic consequences
– Deploy climate finance to reduce emissions across agricultural supply chains
Who should attend
This event is for anyone working in sustainable finance and investment, including financial services, NGOs, government and regulators.
Programme
Across six sessions, we will share the best of our latest climate research and innovation. Academics will present their work alongside industry speakers, to show how research is being applied in practice to sustainable finance and investment. Each session will include plenty of time for discussion and Q&A. See comprehensive programme on the link .
- Session 1 – climate finance in emerging markets : Making the case for livestock climate finance in emerging markets: tools to de-risk investment and accelerate real-world impact.
- Session 2 – investing in carbon capture and storage: No contract, no carbon: managing carbon and allocating risk.
- Session 3 – modelling climate risk : Why uncertainty matters for better decisions: modelling uncertainties for flood risk.
- Session 4 – sustainability reporting and AI: Sustainability reporting is broken. Can AI fix it?
- Session 5 – satellite data for sustainable finance: Pricing the unknown: trust, risk, and satellite data in business decision making.
- Session 6 – carbon accounting: All the emissions we cannot see: making sense of corporate avoided emissions disclosures.
In both the morning and afternoon we are running a Climate Finance Marketplace – an opportunity for you to meet our academics, discuss your work, and start identifying potential opportunities for collaboration as you move around the room.
