The Conference on Biodiversity in Finance and Accounting is co-organized by Prof. Zacharias Sautner in collaboration with Goethe University Frankfurt and the Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE.
As ecosystems face unprecedented challenges due to human behavior, the economic implications of biodiversity loss demand a deeper understanding in various fields in finance and accounting. How can financial systems, investment and financing decisions, and accounting standards respond to the challenges imposed by declining biodiversity? How can the protection and restoration of ecosystems be monetized? The conference aims to bring together novel scientific contributions from various perspectives and to stimulate scientific discussions on these and other questions. Therefore, we solicit empirical and theoretical papers in research fields spanning finance and accounting.
Keynote speakers:
- Johannes Stroebel, David S. Loeb Professor of Finance at New York University, NBER, CEPR, CESifo
- Klement Tockner, Professor for Ecosystem Science at Goethe University and Director General of Senckenberg – Leibniz Institution for Biodiversity and Earth System Research, Frankfurt am Main, Germany
