What is Biodiversity Risk❓ Do financial professionals worry about biodiversity risk❓ Is biodiversity risk priced in financial markets❓
On October 15, 2024, EDHEC Business School hosted Stefano Giglio, Professor of Finance Yale School of Management, who delivered a talk on the financial implications of biodiversity risk and its impact on markets and economic activities.
