The Department of Economics, Warwick Economic Summit, the Warwick Economic Society, Warwick Women in Economics and Rethink Economics are pleased to be hosting the second edition of our annual event - Economics Policy Talks. We invite you to join us for a panel discussion followed by an opportunity to engage with our panellists at a drinks reception after the event.

What's in store?

We have invited a panel of experts to discuss ways through which financial markets can help the global economy stride closer to net zero emissions. The discussion will be centred around the feasibility of using different policies, regulatory frameworks and financial instruments with the end goal of speeding up the energy transformation. Panellists will explore the most viable tools at the disposal of governments and financial institutions that can assist in allocating appropriate resources into decarbonisation and building a more resilient economy in the long run.

There will be an opportunity for you to engage with the event by submitting a question at registration stage. This will help us in finding out what your concerns/thoughts are on how financial markets can be utilised as a means of promoting a more sustainable global economy. There will also be an opportunity for you to ask questions at the event itself during the Q&A session.

Participants will also have the opportunity to put their own questions to the panel.
