Découvrez la première newsletter d'EDHEC-Risk Climate

En octobre 2022, l'EDHEC-Risk Institute est devenu l'EDHEC-Risk Climate Impact Institute (EDHEC-Risk Climate), reflétant l'engagement de l'EDHEC Business School à faire progresser l'intégration des impératifs de durabilité dans les activités économiques.

Sa lettre d'information inaugurale vient d'être publiée, positionnant les orientations de recherche de l'institut dans le contexte de l'urgence climatique et présentant certains des premiers résultats des efforts de recherche incubés au cours des deux dernières années.

As the editorial and the five articles proposed are entirely in English, the rest of this page, presenting the table of contents, is in English too.

Editorial: "Winter of Despair, Spring of Hope"

Frédéric Ducoulombier, Founding Director of EDHEC-Risk Climate opens the editorial for the inaugural newsletter of the Institute, with an article entitled "Winter of Despair, Spring of Hope", and introduces the team's high-relevance academic research on the modeling of climate risk and the role of finance for climate action.
