The ambition of EDHEC-Risk Climate Impact Institute (EDHEC-Risk Climate) is to become a leading academic reference point for long-term investors, helping them to manage the asset-pricing implications of climate change as well as mitigation and adaptation efforts.

We will build on the academic expertise developed by EDHEC-Risk Institute over the last 20 years, and capitalise on a significant research programme on sustainable finance and climate change that was launched years ago. Our mission is to help private and public decision-makers manage climate-related financial risks and make the best use of the financial tools available to transition to low-emission and climate-resilient economies.

EDHEC-Risk Climate also aims to play a noted role in helping financial supervisors and policy makers assess climate-related risks in the financial system and understand how these link to the real economy. The results of our research will help them in advising on the policies and tools needed to mitigate those risks and optimise the contribution of finance to climate-change mitigation and adaptation.

EDHEC-Risk Climate is located at campuses in the City of London in the UK, Nice in France, and Singapore. In partnership with large financial institutions, our team of permanent professors, engineers, economists, support staff and research associates are carrying out two long-term research programmes: 

•	The implications of climate change on asset pricing and investment management 
•	The impact of finance on climate change mitigation and adaptation

The philosophy of the institute is to validate its work by publishing in prestigious academic journals, but also to make this research available to professionals. In this regard, we participate in industry debate through position papers, published studies, online courses, webinars, seminars and global conferences.
