The objective assigned to the “Finance and Sustainable Development” Chair is to contribute to the production of knowledge and methods enabling the evaluation, quantification, and management — through the intersection of quantitative finance and various fields of economics, in particular environmental economics and the economics of energy commodities — of the risks weighing on the sustainable development of societies. The aim is to fully integrate these risks into the financial functioning of the economy, thereby providing shareholders and political and economic decision-makers with a means to express societal choices through financial choices.

For clarity, the Chair’s research themes have been grouped around 5 areas:

• Mean field games
• Ecological rates and the economics of climate risk
• Energy market finance, CO₂ markets
• Biodiversity, agriculture, and exhaustible resources
• Long-term risk and quantitative methods
