Resources: Time:2021-01-27

2020 Article Call on Climate Investment and Finance attracted great attention from people from home and abroad and from all walks of life, and it has promoted the formation of a good atmosphere for academic research on climate change and climate investment and finance. Due to the COVID-19, the Organizing Committee has made the following adjustments about this activity.

First, postpone 2020 Article Call on Climate Investment and Finance.

    This activity works for the 2021 China Climate Investment and Finance International Workshop. In order to provide an exchange platform for more experts and scholars and top international journals, and to open channels for publishing high-quality papers, the Organizing Committee, based on the date of the Workshop, plans to postpone the deadline of the Article Call to April 30, 2021, and the publication date of excellent papers to June 10, 2021.

    Second, continue the supporting activity of academic salon on climate investment and finance.

     To date, a total of 12 episodes of academic salon and 1 online seminar have been held. It is roughly estimated that the academic salon has been viewed more than 20,000 times on different streaming platforms concerned, reaching out to government agencies, financial institutions, international organizations, enterprises and institutions, universities and research institutions at home and abroad, and triggering an academic upsurge on climate change and climate investment and financing.

     The academic salon was originally scheduled to be held from September to December 2020. Given the academic salon has exerted a wide-ranging and strong influence on the large audience and social guidance, the Organizing Committee suggests that more experts would be mobilized and invited to support the academic salon activity, together with the Article Call, until April 30, 2021.

       The Organizing Committee will make more coordinated efforts with all pertinent parties to the Article Call and fully engage in the organizing and preparations for the 2021 China Climate Investment and Finance International Workshop.
