Global financial markets are changing rapidly. The unprecedented advances in AI, increasing regulatory expectations, climate-related risks, and debates over the future of ESG are changing how capital is allocated, how risk is measured, and how sustainability is incorporated into financial decisions.

Meanwhile, important questions are emerging among both academics and industry experts on how AI transforms sustainable investment; can machine learning improve the credibility and transparency of ESG metrics? And what is the future of ESG in a world with evolving regulations and increasing scrutiny from investors and policymakers?

The SFiC annual conference brings together academics, policymakers, practitioners, early-career researchers and PhD students to explore the evolving relationship between sustainable finance, artificial intelligence, and the future of ESG through cutting-edge interdisciplinary research.
