NBS-PRI-ECGI Public Lecture Series - Carbon Transition Risk

The NBS-PRI-ECGI Public Lecture Series is a new global joint initiative between Nanyang Business School (NBS), Principles of Responsible Investment (PRI) and European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) to facilitate the knowledge exchanges between academics, practitioners, and policymakers in sustainable business.

The series provides monthly in-person or online public lectures. Each lecture will feature a leading academic to present cutting-edge research of a specific topic, and an industry expert to moderate the session, sharing insights from the field and also tailoring audience questions in a way to better enable bridging the gap between research and practice.

The lecture will introduce carbon transition risk and focus on the potential misconceptions and challenges associated with this concept. Professor Marcin Kacperczyk will introduce a global perspective, considering the viewpoints of regulators, investors, and firms, and will discuss issues related to the interpretability and measurement of this risk. The session will provide investors and practitioners with a more conceptually grounded way to think about carbon transition risk and about appropriate and inappropriate methods of inference in this area.
