The impact of global warming on the socio-economic and financial systems is gaining widespread attention. The uncertainty of climate change shocks has significantly affected financial and investment activities in China, making climate risk a crucial factor influencing the stability of China’s financial system. In the context of the strategy to build a strong financial nation, addressing climate risk has become a key area of focus for scholars.

To facilitate a broader and deeper discussion on this topic, the fifth carbon neutrality and climate finance forum will be held on April 27, 2024, in Wuhan.

The forum will focus on topics related to climate risks and building a strong financial nation. Experts, scholars, and professionals from various fields are warmly invited to submit papers and participate.
