THE LONG FINANCE AUTUMN CONFERENCE 

This Long Finance conference will focus on the subject of market bubbles and their effects on efforts to ensure sustainability. During the course of the afternoon, two presentations and two panels will explore the dangers of exponential functions, the origins of bubbles, how bubbles impede sustainable investment, whether better information might help prevent bubbles and even whether 'green' thinking is itself a bubble. The overarching goals of Long Finance are to expand frontiers, change systems, deliver services and build communities.

The second panel discussion with John Elkington, Volans; James Leaton, Carbon Tracker Initiative; Bob McDowall, Alderney Renewable Energy; Mark Nicholls, Environmental Finance; chaired by Professor Michael Mainelli.
