EcoCampus: Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) by QFC

The Qatar Financial Center (QFC) Regulatory Authority will provide a presentation at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar on the theme of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG). The presentation aims to address several relevant topics including sustainable taxonomy, climate related risks, financial stability risks in sustainable finance as well as ESG investing.

The presentation is organized in collaboration with the CMU-Q EcoCampus program.

Panel Discussion on Climate Change and the Arab World

The Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) Sustainability Council is arranging a panel discussion about climate change and the Arab world. Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, but since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to burning fossil fuels (like coal, oil, and gas), which produce heat-trapping gases. Being the center of oil and gas production, the Middle East makes a lot of greenhouse gases.

Sustainable Finance

This presentation will cover sustainable finance and aspects of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives. Topics will include how to establish a sustainable taxonomy, categorize climate-related risks, potential financial stability risks and ESG investing
