Imperial College London: New centre aims to help financial investors manage climate risks

A new centre that will help businesses to make better green investment decisions is being launched today.

The new Centre for Climate Finance & Investment at Imperial College Business School will work with companies to manage the risks and financial opportunities posed by climate change.

The centre will help businesses make better financial decisions when choosing to invest in  technologies that help stabilize the climate, whilst providing a good return on investment. These areas include solar and wind energy, and energy efficient transport.

The centre will be the first of its kind to tackle green investment issues within a leading business school, building on Imperial College London’s global reputation for innovative research on climate change. Researchers will help investors identify the risks and financial opportunities posed by climate disruption and address the current lack of information on emerging industrial sectors such as clean energy, energy efficiency and climate-resilient infrastructure.
