Thank you for your interest in Accounting for Sustainability and Responsible Investing. We look forward to continuing our discussion at the 2022 CARE Conference.

The 2021 CARE Accounting for Sustainability and Responsible Investing Conference was held in cooperation with Sustainable Investment Forum North America 2021. The Forum is the largest finance forum during Climate Week NYC, in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP-FI). The Sustainable Investment Forum North America has run for 3 years in official partnership with UNEP-FI, with the mission to mobilise sustainable investment towards a 1.5°C world.
The Sustainable Investment Forum North America convened a global online audience representing asset owners and investment managers, institutional investors, pension funds, banks, development banks, policymakers, think tanks, and NGOs to continue to build the momentum for sustainable finance and responsible investment. For more details on the Sustainable Investment Forum North America conference, please visit https://www.climateaction.org/events/digital/sustainable-investment-forum-north-america-2021.
The 2021 CARE conference is the first of two conferences on the topic Accounting for Sustainability and Responsible Investing. The second will have a similar focus, highlighting select academic research papers that are based on discussions held at this year's conference and will be held in November, 2022. Watch the CARE website for additional details.
These conferences will bring together accountants, finance-professionals, law-professionals, law-makers, standard-setters, economists, investors and scientists as well as academics from the sciences, accounting, finance, law and economics. As with all CARE conferences, the main goal will be to set a research agenda for many emerging scholars, which will address key issues related to accounting for sustainability and responsible investing. We look forward to your participation in the discussion of the critical issues of accounting for sustainability and responsible investing.
