We are pleased to announce the PhD course "Mathematical Climate Finance", held by Prof. Andrea Macrina (Department of Mathematics, University College London) The course is organized by the Doctoral Program in Mathematical Sciences, under the framework "Shaping a World-Class University" of the University of Padova --------------------- Outline This is an introduction to mathematical climate finance by in-depth treatment of some of the recent advances in this burgeoning field of research in financial mathematics. The focus will be on climate transition risk that, together with physical risk, is a major source of climate change risk impacting economies and financial markets. The mathematics, especially the formulation and modelling aspects, on which climate finance is based, is at the core of this course. The aim is thus the study and development of climate finance anchored in financial mathematics. Mathematical climate finance is an active area of research, and this course aims at keeping up- to-date with new insights and ongoing research progress in academia and the industry. A taste of the topic treated in this course can be sampled from the cover story in the Fields Notes, Vol. 12:4, Spring/Summer 2024. https://www.fields.utoronto.ca/sites/default/files/uploads/01875_FI_FieldsNo...
