Global Finance and Economy

Spanning natural sciences, economics and finance, our research increases understanding of the relationships between environmental change, the economy, the financial system, and people and the solutions to advance a resilient, inclusive and sustainable world for all.

We work collaboratively with governments, international organisations, financial institutions, regulators, industry, other universities and civil society organisations to help align policy and global systems with sustainability goals, to protect people and planet and secure prosperity for all.

Our research is global and focussed on systems – working at the intersection of climate, nature, water, food, health, infrastructure, economy and finance – providing analytics and evidence to support decision makers to embed resilience and sustainability into policy, planning and finance.

We work to help improve decision making and generate solutions across sectors and scales, from individual resilient investments to innovative financial products, local adaptation policy and planning, to the global financial system and multilateral development finance.
