Lille Economics and Management (LEM, CNRS UMR 9221) and IÉSEG School of Management invite applications for a fully funded Ph.D. position on financial system and Earth system tipping points, at its Lille/Paris Campus.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This research project proposes to analyse the interactions of Earth system and financial system through the notion of tipping points, within the context of global sustainability. While negative Earth system tipping points (ESTPs) are well documented by existing research, and their potential to trigger socioeconomic collapses is increasingly understood, the concept of positive tipping points (PTPs) is more nascent. PTPs may accelerate beneficial change, and has recently been introduced as a potential solution to mitigate existential climate risks and foster sustainability. But the research articulating ESTPs and PTPs in relation to the financial system remains limited. The proposed PhD project aims to address this gap by conducting a thorough transdisciplinary literature synthesis, developing conceptual foundations of what Earth-Finance system tipping points could be, and applying such an analytical/modelling framework to empirical or theoretical questions connecting finance and ESTPs.
This transdisciplinary project will be supervised by Dr. Hugues CHENET. The selected candidate will join the Management&Society faculty department at IÉSEG (click here for more information). Collaborations are expected with researchers from other universities and research programmes (e.g. UCL-ISR, Global Tipping Points).
