Climate Change and Financial Markets Workshop

It is interesting to see that the "city" and the financial markets are beginning to take climate change seriously.

This workshop on the 11th January at Warwick Business School covers a range of finance related topics that I am sure will be of interest to many although it is not for the mathematically or academically faint hearted.
