Company and Climate Changes Conference CCC'2022

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that our annual conference, CCC'2022, will be held on 18–20th December 2022 in Tunis, Tunisia. The theme of the conference is " Company and Climate Changes: The Imperative of Innovation and Sustainable Development, A New Paradigm in Finance". Through the launch of this conference, we aim to bring academics, practitioners and policymakers under one platform for initiating debates and discussions surrounding the issues of dual relationships between sustainable development and climate change. Several high-profile academics, practitioners and policymakers have been invited to the conference as keynote speakers and panellists. We invite papers covering different subthemes of sustainable finance, accounting, marketing, human resources, artificial intelligence, fintech and other business areas. Authors of top conference papers will be invited to submit their papers to a Special Issue of the journal "Sustainability", titled “Climate Change and Sustainable Development”. You can submit your paper through the following address: mefconferences@yahoo.com. Please see the attached flyer for more information about the conference, and for any other information or queries, please do not hesitate to contact us at contact.conferenceccc@gmail.com.

Climate change, environmental degradation and biodiversity loss have fuelled recent debates on the relationship between development and sustainability, reflected in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Climate change has emerged as the most pressing challenge I the way of the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and the aspirations, goals and targets of Agenda 2063. Climate change also poses significant risks for businesses unable to adapt to the novel context, whilst, on the other hand, presenting opportunities for those demonstrating vision and leadership. Climate change affects many aspects of organisational management, and its importance is only going to increase over time—its effects are already being felt on natural resources, while governments work on policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To stand up to the challenge of climate change, companies need to create low-carbon products and services, reduce the carbon footprint of their operations, engage stakeholders, governments and businesses along their supply chain to determine what initiatives to implement, improve the resilience of their infrastructures and reorient their long-term strategy to incorporate solutions to emerging climate change issues.

This conference proposes the analysis of the following topics: the challenges of climate change; risk management and climate change; fintechs vs. climate change; technological and social innovation; marketing and sustainability; sustainable finance; social performance and financial performance; human resources and sustainable development; the human and economic consequences of sustainable development; global reporting initiative (GRI) and integrated reporting; IFRS and sustainability reporting standards; accounting and sustainability; social and environmental accounting; corporate governance and sustainability; sustainable finance and impact investing; management control and environmental auditing; artificial intelligence and climate change; the economics of climate change; real option analysis and climate change; climate risk; stress test; impact investing and emery transition.
