The apparent enthusiasm of researchers and practitioners for sustainable development challenges during the last decades has enabled them to explore the facets of a sustainable development model involving economists, financial, lawyers, computer science, geographers, and agronomists. Climate changes are essentially triggered by the increase of concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, for instance carbon dioxide CO2 emitted by human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation.
Possible consequences include a rise in temperature, extreme rainfall, dryness and floods as well as a rise in sea level.
Scientists and political decision makers agree that gas emissions should be reduced in order to curb the potential devastating consequences of climate change.
Many measures have been taken during COP summits and mainly COP 27 in Egypt to reach international compromises and to elaborate international agreements to set yearly climatic objectives to ensure a follow- up of the global climatic situation.
To face this context, investors and enterprises can implement durable investment strategies and energetic transition, such as investment in clean and renewable energies, reduction of exposure sectors sensitive to climatic change and the promotion of transparency and responsibility as far as greenhouse gas emissions.
Investors and enterprises can also back up policies and favourable regulations to climate by adopting a global approach based on sustainability.
This radical change has favoured investment options and resources allocation modes that protect the natural reserves for future generations hence the evolution of green finance concepts, the circular economy, green computing with a legal framework to regulate all these activities. Moreover, these changes have stimulated the implementation of digital supply chain giving logistics professionals a larger control of the way they plan, manage and organize every single phase of manufacturing delivery process.
All these themes will be discussed in the international conference organized by the Faculty of Law, Economics and Management of Jendouba aiming at bringing all finance and green economy professionals together, lawyers interested in environment law and international relations and all parties involved in improving human wellbeing and social equity.
Topics that are of interest for this international conference include, but are not limited to:
1 * Green finance, opportunity and challenge /risk
2* Green accounting
3* Climatic change: growth and sustainable development
4* Innovation strategies
5* Corporate Social Responsibility: extra financial information and standards
