Call for Papers: Conference "Finance against Global Environmental Crisis"

14 February 2017

CALL FOR PAPERS

for an academic conference on Finance against Global Environmental Crises hosted by CGG

In this conference we look at the ways finance is applied to convert capitalism from the source of global environmental crises into a provider of responses to these crises.
The conference aims at documenting the different processes that turn the problems of climate change and biodiversity loss into economic issues, and then into business or financial opportunities. We are interested in the general dynamics: how, by what means and through what instruments, does this transformation take place and what does it produce?

Dates: Nov 29^th-Dec 1^st, 2017

Conveners: Ève Chiapello (EHESS Paris) and Anita Engels (Universität Hamburg)

Submission deadline for paper proposals: May 22^nd, 2017

Submission address: greenfinconf"AT"ehess.fr, 500 to 800 words plus references.
