ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE RISKS
COVID-19 update: the CREDIT 2020 Conference is both onsite and online but we are ready to move the conference remotely, if necessary.
GRETA Associati (Venice, Italy), Cattolica Assicurazioni (Verona, Italy), European DataWarehouse (Frankfurt am Main, Germany), CRIF (Bologna, Italy), European Investment Fund (Luxembourg), European Investment Bank (Luxembourg) and Intesa Sanpaolo (Milan, Italy) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September 24-25, 2020. The objective of the Conference is to bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in the area of risk management. The conference will provide an opportunity for participants engaged in research at the forefront of this area to discuss both the causes and implications of recent financial and climate-related events and may, in turn, suggest fruitful and policy-relevant directions for future research. The Conference, organised under the auspices of the Department of Economics and VERA - Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies (University Ca’ Foscari of Venice) ABI - Italian Banking Association, AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria and the Joint Research Center, European Commission (Ispra, Italy), is the nineteenth of a series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk.
The UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the adoption of European Commission’s Action Plan on Sustainable Finance mark important international commitments to the objective of a more sustainable economy and society. However, their successful implementation is tightly related to the scaling up of low-carbon investments and divestment from carbon-intensive investments. This, in turn, requires an assessment of the credit risks stemming from investors’ exposure to economic activities and assets that could be stranded by climate change. For instance, regulators’ discussion about the revision of capital requirements aimed to foster green investments (i.e. a green-supporting or a brown-penalising factor) is hampered by the unclear understanding of the implications of a regulatory change on individual institutions and systemic financial risk. Thus, financing the low-carbon transition is primarily a discussion about credit risk.
The financial sector, and in particular the banking and insurance industries need to develop new portfolios’ risk management strategies and to adjust their credit allocation practices to cope with the opportunities and challenges of the low-carbon transition in the economy and finance. All these changes call for a substantial amount of research to improve the knowledge of the mechanisms at play and to design tailored and effective policy tools.
The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include Marina Brogi (Sapienza University of Rome), Andrew W. Lo (MIT Sloan School of Management, Cambridge) and Mario Nava (European Commission, Brussels). The Conference will also feature panel discussions on researchers', practitioners' and policy makers’ views of the major issues at stake for embedding climate into credit risk.

Palazzo Franchetti
The conference will be held at Palazzo Franchetti, an imposing Venetian neo-Gothic building in the heart of Venice overlooking the Grand Canal. Along the centuries, the Palace was the residence of celebrated Venetian families who undertook major modernization work that gave the building the modern features that are one of its peculiarities.
Sala del Portego – conference hall
In 1878 Baron Raimondo Franchetti bought the building, which was to remain property of the family until September 1922 when it was sold to Istituto Federale di Credito per il Risorgimento delle Venezie by the Baron's widow, Sarah Luisa de Rothschild. The period is associated with the name of architect Camillo Boito, who altered the building significantly, designing the monumental staircase. Characterized by large 5-light mullioned window with interlacing arches and tracery, the palace has been one of the venues of the prestigious Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere e Arti since 1999.
The monumental staircase
Located at the foot of the Accademia Bridge in Campo S. Stefano, the venue can easily be reached from Piazzale Roma or from the Railway Station by public transport (lines 1 or 2 - about 20/30 min) or by private water taxi (about 10 minutes). Palazzo Franchetti is also within walking distance from the main access points to the city (about 30 minutes).
ACCOMMODATION
We propose an hotel list including all within easy reach of the conference venue.
It is possible to find accommodation alternatives also by visiting the official website of the Tourist Board of Venice or the Veneto.eu website.
