Climate change is a global challenge that requires urgent action from all stakeholders, including businesses, investors, regulators and academics.

How can investors and regulators assess the financial implications of climate-related risks and opportunities for companies?

On Thursday, March 7, join Haresh Sapra, the Charles T. Horngren Professor of Accounting at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and an expert on disclosure regulation and corporate governance as he discusses new research on the best way for regulators to fine-tune their mandates.
