Established at SOAS University of London, the Centre for Sustainable Finance (CSF) is an interdisciplinary research hub bringing together researchers from a range of disciplines, including economics and finance, public policy, development, and environmental studies. The CSF addresses issues including green financial governance, climate and environmental risk for public and corporate investors, and financing the SDGs. The CSF is part of the Global Research Alliance for Sustainable Finance and Investment. It is host to the Climate and Sustainable Finance Data Initiative SUFINDA, set up to benefit the global community of researchers and decision makers in this space.
The SOAS Centre for Sustainable Finance seeks to develop cutting-edge knowledge and understanding of climate and sustainable finance in both the Global North and South and acts as a focal point for economic and policy debates in this area. Researchers at the SOAS Centre for Sustainable Finance are working with national and international partners on a range of topics, with funding from different institutions. The Centre’s research is built around five research areas:
- Low-carbon innovation policy and renewable energy investments
- Role of central banks and financial governance in addressing climate and environmental risks and greening the financial system
- Climate vulnerability and the cost of capital
- Investing in resilience
- The role of public financial institutions in financing the green transformation
