The future of climate action hinges on innovative approaches to finance and forward-thinking policy. The 2025 Climate Finance & Policy (CFP-2025) conference offers a dynamic exploration of emerging trends in climate finance (e.g., green bonds, carbon markets, and impact investing). Participants will analyze how evolving policy landscapes are fostering these innovations and creating new opportunities for sustainable development. Participants will gain insights into the cutting edge of climate finance and policy, equipping them with the knowledge to anticipate future developments and contribute to building a climate-resilient and prosperous world.

The conference is jointly organized by AVSE Global, EMLV Business School, Nottingham Business School (Nottingham Trent University) and Montpellier Research in Economics (University of Montpellier). It will take place IN-PERSON on 20-21 November 2025 at EMLV Business School, Euromedecine, 61 Rue Guillaume Dupuytren, 34090 Montpellier.
