Financial Risk Day 2023
Energy Transition: Risks and Opportunities
- Date/Time: Friday 20 October 2023, 9am - 6pm
- Venue: Macquarie University City Campus, Level 24 Angel Place, 123 Pitt Street, Sydney
- Financial Risk Day Program 2023
- Registration link
The Centre for Risk Analytics in the Macquarie Business School will host its 12th annual Financial Risk Day on 20 October 2023 to discuss impacts of energy transitions on the economy, as well as on the energy sector and financial industry. The conference will be co-hosted by Macquarie University’s Transforming Energy Markets Research Centre.
The de-carbonisation of the economy involves significant changes to the current structure of energy markets, the creation and design of new markets for carbon credit units, and the integration of new energy sources, such as hydrogen, into these markets. This has significant implications for the energy industry, but also the financial sector and entire economy. While the energy transition poses significant risks to incumbents, it also provides many opportunities for investment into new technologies, as well as the creation of new financial products and markets.
The 2023 Financial Risk Day will examine risks, opportunities and solutions for the transition of energy markets and the de-carbonisation of the economy. Experts from industry, regulation and academia will discuss existing and new ideas on how to facilitate a smooth transition, the impacts of the transition on energy markets, financial institutions, and the economy as a whole.
