The ESMA Research Conference on "Environmental risks and ESG investing: securities market impact" will bring together securities market policymakers and supervisors, academics and industry professionals to discuss and analyse the impact of environmental risks and ESG transition on EU securities markets.
The conference will explore developments and risks in this area, considering both investor protection and financial stability implications.
By better understanding the risks we ultimately aim to further promote the role of capital markets in financing the sustainable transition in finance and beyond.
