Title: Optimizing Investment under Risk Aversion: A Focus on Climate Risk
Abstract : Climate change presents challenges to policy and economic stability, necessitating effective trading strategies to reduce environmental risks. This article addresses gaps in existing studies by using a Markov-switching model to consider climate risk. Backward stochastic differential equations are used to optimize utility with three hedging strategies based on the concept of risk aversion. Numerical scenarios confirm the model’s superiority in incorporating exogenous events, with our risk-averse strategy outperforming classical approaches. Our strategy outperforms classical strategies by taking a flexible risk trading when investors face risk-averse behavior due to climate risk events. The findings presented in this article have important implications for the development of more resilient investment portfolios and can contribute to climate policy.

International Symposium on Climate, Finance, and Sustainability (ISCFS-2024)
2024-11-21 09:00 - 2024-11-22 18:00 | Université Paris Dauphine – PSL, Place du Maréchal Lattre de Tassigny, Paris, Sélectionner un État :, 75016, France
Climate change, resource depletion, technological disruption, and social inequalities are all pressing issues. How we have approached these problems may no longer be sufficient. The urgency of climate action, the need for sustainable development, and the critical role of finance in achieving both are unprecedented challenges. New situations call for new ways of thinking to mitigate climate change through financial solutions and sustainable investments and adapt to its impacts by building resilience and securing financial resources.
Given these perspectives and imperatives, we are pleased to announce the 2024 International Symposium on Climate, Finance, and Sustainability (ISCFS-2024). Jointly organized by AVSE Global, EMLV Business School, and Paris Dauphine University – PSL (Climate Economics Chair), in partnership with the Department of Land Economy at the University of Cambridge and the UMI SOURCE at the University of Paris-Saclay, the Symposium aims to bring together a global community of leaders, experts, and innovators to address the above-mentioned interconnected issues. It also intends to be a focal point for new thoughts, developments, and challenges interrelating climate, finance, and sustainability.
The Symposium will take place IN-PERSON on 21-22 November 2024 at Paris Dauphine University, Paris, France.

Title: Circular economy : a conceptual clarification based on the sustainability criterion
Abstract : The concept of the circular economy lacks consensus and remains vague, often seen as an “umbrella term” or a bricolage of ideas (Blomsma and Brennan, 2017; Reike et al., 2018). This ambiguity arises from its nature as a collection of means rather than an end goal (Nobre and Tavares, 2021). Building on works by Boulding (1968) and Pearce and Turner (1990), this article argues that the circular economy was never intended as a normative concept. Instead, its implementation should be guided by the principles of sustainable development, balancing biological and technical cycles. The article distinguishes between circular economy strategies aligned with strong versus weak sustainability (Giampietro, 2019; Velenturf and Purnell, 2021) and critically assesses both paradigms. It proposes operationalizing circularity through the Safe Minimum Standards approach to preserve natural capital in a context of uncertainty, irreversibility, and non-linear ecological responses.

Title: Carbon prices, emissions and international trade in sectors at risk of carbon leakage
Abstract :What is the effect of recent carbon price developments on domestic emissions and carbon leakage? In this talk, we revisit a recent OECD working paper, developing a comprehensive plant-level emission and carbon pricing dataset covering the cement and steel sectors in 140 countries. The new dataset reveals that carbon price asymmetries among trading partners increased by more than three times. We estimate the net effect of this rising carbon prices on domestic and trade-embedded emissions. To do so, we trade shocks in renewable energy supply as an instrumental variable, providing credible exogenous variation to identify the causal effect of carbon pricing on domestic and traded emissions. Results suggest that, on average, a USD 1 increase in carbon prices reduces domestic cement and steel plants’ emissions by 1.3%. For each 8 tonnes of emissions reduced this way, we estimate that about 1 tonne is offset by carbon leakage. We explore economic and technology channels that drive these results.

Special FLM Debate, François Lévêque & Matthieu Glachant, February 14th 2025
2025-02-14 12:30 - 14:30 | Chaire Economie du Climat, Palais Brongniart 28 Place de la Bourse, Paris, 75002
Presentation: Delivered in French.
Speakers: François Lévêque & Matthieu Glachant, Professors at Mines Paris PSL
Title: Survivre à la chaleur : Adaptons-nous
Abstract: Temperature records and the increasing frequency of extreme climate events are causing significant human losses and extensive destruction of infrastructure, production, and ecosystems. Adapting therefore seems essential. However, adaptation policies are often criticized for diverting efforts and investments that could be better used to reduce CO2 emissions, or even for contributing to the rise in these emissions. Contrary to these views, this book emphasizes that adaptation and mitigation are not opposing forces but rather complementary strategies: adaptation addresses immediate needs and provides local solutions, while mitigation operates over the long term and benefits the entire planet. Drawing on concrete measures—such as air conditioning, urban greening, dikes, and water management—the authors analyze their effectiveness and costs. They also show how public authorities can support these measures to avoid maladaptation and protect the most vulnerable populations. This book offers a compelling case for understanding adaptation not as a failure, but as a source of hope.

Title: Equitable Auctions
English presentation.
Abstract: We initiate the study of how auction design affects the division of surplus among buyers. We propose a parsimonious measure for equity and apply it to the family of standard auctions for homogeneous goods. Our surplus-equitable mechanism is efficient, Bayesian-Nash incentive compatible, and achieves surplus parity among winners ex-post. The uniform-price auction is equity-optimal if and only if buyers have a pure common value. Against intuition, the pay-as-bid auction is not always preferred in terms of equity if buyers have pure private values. In auctions with price mixing between pay-as-bid and uniform prices, we provide prior-free bounds on the equity-preferred pricing rule under a common regularity condition on signals.

Title: Diversified Production and Market Power: Theory and Evidence from Renewables
English presentation.
Abstract: We study the Colombian energy market, where diversified energy firms strategically substitute thermal generation for hydropower before droughts. This withinfirm substitution, due to thermal generators internalizing the drop in hydropower supply during droughts, mitigates higher market prices. We show theoretically and empirically that these virtuous spillovers exist when thermal generators have market power but are severed when their residual demands are vertical or horizontal, which attenuates a firm’s business stealing incentives. We conclude that industry consolidation can reduce prices if it promotes diversified production portfolios. Diversification can keep the green transition affordable by reducing the cost of renewable intermittencies.

Title:Building Decarbonisation and Affordable Housing in Europe – Can Local Governments Address Them Together?
Please note that the seminar will be conducted in English.
Abstract: Buildings are central to Europe’s Decarbonisation and Housing strategies. They represent 40% of final energy use and 36% of emissions, with most requiring renovation by 2030. The importance of building performance has been heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic, which revealed poor ventilation, the recent energy crisis, which deepened energy poverty, as well as the heat waves, which are every year gaining intensity. Since the adoption of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (2010, revised 2024) and the Energy Efficiency Directive (2012, revised 2023), EU policy has increasingly integrated the social dimension of housing, linking renovation with affordability, energy poverty reduction, and resilience of critical service buildings. In addition, a new Commissioner in charge of Energy and Housing has been appointed, and a Housing Task Force was established a few months ago.
Local governments, however, face significant challenges in financing, planning, and skill development. This presentation summarizes a report published earlier this year, and identifies the key skills municipalities need—ranging from technical and financial capacities to “soft” skills in coordination and negotiation—while emphasizing the importance of digital tools, integrated governance approaches, and streamlined support mechanisms. Achieving Europe’s renovation goals will require stronger empowerment of municipalities and a major overhaul of investment frameworks.

Roundtable: Clean Energy to Strengthen Energy Security
2025-10-27 09:30 - 11:00 | Sciences Po Salons Scientifiques, 1 pl. Saint-Thomas-d'Aquin, Paris, 75007
The roundtable Clean Energy to Strengthen Energy Security organized by EMLyon Business School, Paris Dauphine-PSL, and the CEC as part of the Paris Climate & Nature Week (Sciences Po), addresses a major challenge of our time: recent energy crises, characterised by price volatility and geopolitical tensions, have underscored the importance of energy security for modern societies. The Russian attack on Ukraine in 2022 reminded European countries how heavily dependent they are on fossil fuel imports. It emphasises the urgent need to accelerate the shift towards local, low-carbon, and sustainable energy sources.
The clean energy transition, through the adoption of low-carbon energy sources, the acceleration of the electrification and measures to enhance energy performance and reduce energy consumption, offers a direct response to this challenge: it reduces reliance on imports, diversifies the energy mix, and strengthens resilience in times of crisis. In addition, if implemented correctly, it also promotes fairer energy systems with lower bills, improved air quality, local and qualified jobs, etc.

Energy Week, December 1st to 5th, 2025
2025-12-01 13:30 - 2025-12-05 16:30 | Multisites : Sciences Po, Mines Paris PSL, Paris Dauphine-PSL
Paris Energy Week (multisite) will take place in Paris from December 1 to 5, 2025, bringing together researchers, policymakers, industry leaders, and students from around the world to discuss and innovate on the major challenges of the global energy transition at a decisive moment for the future of energy.
Ten years after energy was formally integrated into the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs, under SDG 7), the energy transition is at a critical juncture. The deployment of renewable energy is accelerating, driven by major players like China, which has helped reduce costs. However, international policy developments threaten some of these advancements: major projects and subsidies are being canceled in the United States, and several European countries are also reconsidering their support for wind and solar energy. At the same time, access to critical minerals presents increasing challenges. Experts are also debating whether to prioritize electrification or energy conservation/sufficiency as part of decarbonization. Societies face complex choices that will shape the balance between sustainability, security, and affordability for generations to come.
In this context, Paris Energy Week will bring together leading figures from academia, politics, and industry to engage in high-level dialogue on the future of energy.
Anna Creti will participate in the session on December 3rd at 2:00 PM at Mines Paris – PSL: Developments and Challenges of the EU ETS as a Dynamic Policy Instrument in Global Climate Governance 👉 Register

Title: La fin de l’eau? Fayard, 306 pages (Winner of the Lucien Dupont Prize from the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences, the Sustainable Development Prize from the Cercle Turgot, and the Best Management Essay Prize from FNEGE).
Abstract: Are we heading toward the end of water? Or at least the end of easily available and affordable drinking water? Until the recent droughts experienced in Europe and the United States, global powers tended to view water scarcity as primarily an issue for poorer countries. However, due to climate change and human overuse, half of the world’s population is now exposed to shortages of this vital resource. Around the globe, social tensions over water access are growing increasingly acute. Until recently, water rarely made headlines. Yet, its management should now top the list of the most critical issues. Solutions exist, but governments have fallen far behind. This book outlines the urgent actions needed before the ongoing disruption of the water cycle leads to catastrophic consequences.

Title: Price stability in the low-carbon transition: Taking stock and assessing the implications for monetary policy
[Based on an ongoing paper written with David Barmes and Andrew Jackson]
Abstract: The low-carbon transition – driven by policy, innovation, and behavioral shifts – will fundamentally reshape relative prices across the global economy. These adjustments can exert significant pressure on headline inflation, particularly through volatile categories such as energy, transport, and food. Whether these shocks result in persistent inflationary pressures depends on their propagation through supply chains, aggregate demand, and wage-setting behaviors. This presentation will first take stock of the existing evidence regarding the links between the low-carbon transition and inflation. Such inflationary pressures may compel monetary policymakers to increase interest rates. However, this could slow down the pace of the transition and amplify inflationary pressures related to climate shocks. This introduces a potential “inflation-green transition trade-off” alongside the traditional inflation-output mandate, creating a complex intertemporal challenge for central banks. The second goal of this presentation is to assess the implications for monetary policy and propose a framework for navigating these trade-offs.

International Symposium on Climate, Finance, and Sustainability 2026
2026-06-25 06:00 - 2026-06-26 21:59 | Maison des Sciences de Gestion de l’Université Paris-Panthéon-Assas, 1 Rue Guy de la Brosse, Paris, 75005
(English only)
Overview
Climate change, resource depletion, technological disruption, and social inequalities are all pressing issues. How we have approached these problems may no longer be sufficient. The urgency of climate action, the need for sustainable development, and the critical role of finance in achieving both are unprecedented challenges. New situations call for new ways of thinking to mitigate climate change through financial solutions and sustainable investments and adapt to its impacts by building resilience and securing financial resources.
The 2026 International Symposium on Climate, Finance, and Sustainability (ISCFS-2026) aims to bring together a global community of leaders, experts, and innovators to address the above-mentioned interconnected issues. It also intends to be a focal point for new thoughts, developments, and challenges interrelating climate, finance, and sustainability.
The Symposium is jointly organized by AVSE Global, Paris Dauphine University – PSL (Climate Economics Chair), Paris-Pantheon-Assas University (House of Management Science), University of Cambridge (Department of Land Economy) and University of Paris-Saclay (UMI SOURCE).
