The Data Analytics Prize
Can you unlock the future of climate finance?
The Data Analytics Prize is looking for creative ways to utilise existing climate and environmental datasets to improve the adoption of climate finance, as part of the Climate Investment Challenge (CIC) from Imperial College London.
Your ideas may help to integrate transition or physical climate risk into financial decision-making or develop novel green financial instruments.
The winning team will be awarded £7,000 and CGFI support to further develop the solution.
Thank you to all entrants for the 2024 Prize – see the CIC website for more on the process and for details of future events, including the 2024 final.
The Data Analytics Prize 2023
Congratulations to team Reckon – winners of the 2023 Data Analytics Prize in the Climate Investment Challenge.
Aparna Holenarasipura Sreedhara & Akanksha Sahay’s entry “Financing a just coal transition” used climate, geospatial and economic data and climate risk modelling to understand physical risk and coal transition-relevant job losses. The team will receive further assistance from CGFI as they develop their solution.
The team, pictured right with CGFI panel judge Brian Matthews and the CGFI’s Yllka Hysaj, received the award in the CIC Final at the Royal Institution/Undaunted on the 9th Jun. CIC finalists presented their ideas to an expert panel from industry and academia.
