UK launches new £10m research centre to spur a greener global financial system
We welcome a new £10m green finance centre at Oxford University – the Centre for Greening Finance & Investment (CGFI) – with which the CISI is delighted to be involved. This is a national centre to accelerate the adoption and use of climate and environmental data and analytics by financial institutions internationally.
