The inception of the “International Conference on Climate and Energy Finance” (ICEF) dates back to 2018 and was initiated by Professor Qiang Ji and Professor Zhang Dayong. The primary goal of this conference is to propel research development within the realm of climate and energy finance in China while fostering academic exchanges on both domestic and international fronts. The organizational and coordination responsibilities for the conference rest with the ISETS Energy Finance Network and the Studies of Climate Finance, Chinese Society of Optimization, Overall Planning, and Economical Mathematics. Over the years, ICEF has been successfully hosted in various cities such as Beijing, Kunming, Qingdao, Xiamen, Nanjing, and Changsha. The conference has consistently attracted the participation of experts and scholars from over 20 countries and regions, representing more than 200 universities. Recognized in the China Association for Science and Technology’s “Important Academic Conference Guide” for four consecutive years, ICEF has played a crucial role in advancing the development of climate and energy finance disciplines and contributing to talent cultivation in China.
