Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This special volume is dedicated to the 18th Edition of the International Conference in Applied Business and Economics, and it aims to present studies and research projects that have already been conducted and aim to mitigate the effects of climate change and sustainability standards on several industries not only in terms of investing, financing, and modeling, but also in terms of risk management.
In particular, the volume will highlight the role of the insurance industry when it comes to climate risk and sustainability, the role of the financial industry and its capacity to finance the infrastructure needed, the business models that have to adapt to the new standards and the society that must prepare for such a big change.
Education systems and the curriculum have to be organized in a different manner. The Green Deal, a new framework introduced by the EU, has to be followed, while this framework simultaneously creates new motivations for social sciences to consider human factors, climate change, sustainability and risks as conditions in any research that will be conducted in the future.
In this special volume, we encourage the submission of contributions that relate (but are not limited) to the following:
- The role and impact of insurance in tackling climate change;
- The ESG strategy: culture, coordination and understanding of the next big sustainable lever;
- Opportunities in the green revolution;
- Climate change: present and future expectations;
- The impact of climate change on the role of the risk manager, the actuary, and the internal auditor;
- The impact of climate change and sustainability measures on compliance and regulation;
- The impact of climate change and sustainability standards on banking and finance;
- The impact of climate change and sustainability standards on the energy industry;
- Risk management issues related to climate change and sustainability;
- Case studies from leading insurance companies on sustainable, net zero and futureproof operations;
- The Green Deal and its consequences for the global economy;
- Social impacts from climate change and sustainability;
- Business models and climate change;
- Sustainability measures for firms’ financial performance in several industries;
- ESG drivers for several industries;
- Psychological issues related to climate change;
- SME’s strategies, climate change and sustainability;
- Transport risks, climate change and sustainability.
