Glen Gostlow

Glen Gostlow is a Visiting Fellow at the Grantham Research Institute, London School of Economics, and a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Finance at the University of Zurich.

Gostlow's work bridges climate science and financial markets, investigating how environmental regulations and litigation translate into measurable corporate value impacts. His research demonstrates that climate lawsuits systematically reduce firm valuations, establishing legal climate action as a material financial risk factor for investors and regulators. This contributes to evolving frameworks for climate risk disclosure in asset pricing.

His publications reveal a concentrated research trajectory on climate litigation's financial consequences, with the 2023-2024 award-winning paper forming the cornerstone of this work. This trend highlights the growing integration of environmental legal risks into mainstream finance literature.
