Climate and nature

What we do

The financial system is at the heart of the crises facing nature and the climate. Fossil fuel extraction, mass deforestation and other highly destructive activities are ultimately made possible by the support they receive from the financial sector. 

At the same time, the finance system can play a pivotal role in the solutions to these crises.    By redirecting money into the green technologies and industries of the future. By supporting key sectors to align with climate and nature objectives, while ensuring that workers and communities aren’t left behind as the economy changes. By advocating with policy-makers to help shape more ambitious financial policy and regulation.

To do all this, the financial system will have to change, in some areas dramatically. 

We work with a wide range of people and organisations including finance sector professionals, civil society organisations, policy makers, academics and more to help find the levers which can shift the system. We work together to advocate for these changes and to help bring about a finance system that works for people and the planet. 


Get involved

If you’re interested in working together to change finance sector policy so it supports a rapid and just transition to a more sustainable economy, then we’d love to hear from you. 

We hold regular events with like-minded individuals and organisations in the financial sector, as well as with civil society organisations, academics and more.
