In his work at Erasmus University Rotterdam, Dr. Hut examined how financial markets are influenced by long-term climate risks—and how they, in turn, shape the climate through lending and investment choices. His dissertation provides valuable insights for long-term investors, financial institutions, and sustainable market participants.
The defense took place on 15 May 2025 at the Rotterdam School of Management in the presence of academic colleagues, friends, and family.
We thank the committee and all attendees for their presence and thought-provoking questions, and we wish Dr. Hut the very best as he continues his journey in research and impact.
