EDHEC Climate Research Conference 2026

Climate Risk and Business Resilience: From Science to Strategic Action

Overview

The EDHEC Climate Research Conference 2026 will bring together global experts from finance, academia, infrastructure, and policy to explore how cutting-edge climate science can directly inform strategic and investment decisions. 

Hosted by the EDHEC Climate Institute during London Climate Action Week (LCAW) and held at One Birdcage Walk, London, the conference will present original research, data-driven case studies, and scientific tools addressing the financial materiality of climate risk — from hyperlocal physical impacts to transition dynamics and regulatory frameworks.
