International markets have been severely disrupted by the pandemic, which affected supply and demand conditions as well as productivity. At the same time, the new economic model across the world will be fundamentally linked to the digital transformation and the climate economy. Both public and private stakeholders can contribute to and benefit from the new financial instruments aimed at the massive investments required for a greener economy. The panel aims to discuss the latest evolutions as well as the outlook for the recovery of international markets, while also looking at new developments brought by the emphasis on climate goals discussions. It will analyze the resilience of the international markets in the face of crisis and transformation. We welcome papers that look at such issues as the climate economy, green finances, disruptions in supply chains, international cooperation in economic transformations, clean technologies and sustainable development.
The main topics covered by the hereby call for papers are related to:
