The intersection of climate change, sustainability, and financial markets is an area of increasing concern. As the impacts of climate change become more evident, there is growing interest in understanding both the impact of climate change on the financial markets and the critical role finance can play in addressing this challenge.

Baruch College and the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis are pleased to announce the call for papers for the Baruch-JFQA Climate Finance and Sustainability Conference. The conference aims to bring together top scholars worldwide to present original academic research and contribute to the ongoing discourse on climate finance and sustainability. We welcome submissions from all related areas in finance, accounting, and real estate including but not limited to the following topics: climate finance, ESG, corporate sustainability, climate risk, climate-related regulation, green innovations, and renewable energy.

Please submit a paper here (https://sites.google.com/d/1Jae2P2BeRvHuFwJ52O0sExAeDOHlnTBN/p/1lEhXlnbe8O-IwCB21LBVqZ0jVdyjAONz/edit) by December 10, 2024. The papers will be evaluated by members of the program committee. Accepted authors will be notified by mid-January.

The Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis offers authors a dual submission option, sponsored by the Managing Editors Ran Duchin and Kai Li, by the same deadline of December 10, 2024, with no additional fee. The authors are encouraged to choose to submit to both the conference and JFQA but can also choose to submit to the conference program only. The JFQA is committed to a fast turnaround, and the accepted papers will be published in a curated collection of papers with the same theme.
