Oxford Sustainable Finance Summit
19th-20th July 2023
About the Summit
Sustainable finance has faced enormous challenges in 2022. While we have seen trillions of dollars of private sector capital being committed to net zero by 2050, growing pushback against ESG has dominated much of the debate since. We must now come together to find solutions to legal, political and macro-economic hurdles.
The University of Oxford has world-leading researchers and research capabilities in sustainable finance and investment. In 2023 we are hosting our second Oxford Sustainable Finance Summit, bringing together leading researchers from across the University with practitioners, policymakers, regulators and civil society organisations to examine and reflect on the latest developments in sustainable finance. Join us in person for two special days in Oxford this summer.
