Research

CSFPN partners with internal and external organizations to conduct research around emerging themes in sustainable finance to move the needle forward.  They serve to advance the dialogue on relevant issues and fill the intellectual gap in the industry.  The research projects are advised and overseen by industry and faculty advisors and executed by CSFPN members.  In the past, research projects have focused on carbon pricing and natural capital, among a few.  And most recently, CSFPN has collaborated with the Emerging Markets Investors Alliance to create an ESG framework for integration, engagement and advocacy in both corporate and sovereign investments in emerging markets.
