Cli­mate Risks and Ex­pec­ted Re­turns

On August 24, 2026, the Council for Return Expectations and Pension Research Centre (PeRCent) will host a joint conference on Climate Risk and Expected Returns at Scandic Falkoner Hotel in Copenhagen, DK.

Climate change is becoming an increasingly important consideration for pension funds, central banks, and financial institutions working with long-term risk, economic growth, and expected returns.

Lasse Heje Pedersen, Copenhagen Business School
Adrian Lema, Danish Meteorological Institute
