The demand for climate and environmental data from financial institutions is growing rapidly. Academic research outputs are not often directly digestible by financial institutions and commercialising new science can be challenging. 

Tackling  barriers to accessing and scaling innovation presents a major opportunity  to enhance the competitive positioning and sustainability of the UK financial sector; and to develop a vibrant and world-leading ecosystem of UK enterprises providing climate and environmental analytics.

CGFI’s work to support this ecosystem of innovation has included:

• Connecting industries and networks across environmental science and finance;
• Knowledge exchange and raising the bar on application;
• Stimulating new ideas and early stage business support.
