Klima- und nachhaltige Energie­finanzierung

Finanzinstitute stärken für den Wandel zu einer grüneren, nachhaltigeren und widerstandsfähigen Zukunft.

Eine globale Erfahrung mit persönlichem Fokus

Das Frankfurt School – UNEP Collaborating Centre for Climate & Sustainable Energy Finance ist eine strategische Kooperation zwischen der Frankfurt School und dem Umweltprogramm der Vereinten Nationen (UNEP). Das FS-UNEP Centre hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, durch die Zusammenarbeit mit Finanzakteuren im Rahmen strategischer Beratungsleistungen transformative Veränderungen zu fördern und dabei innovative, intelligente und praxisnahe Lösungen zu entwickeln. Das Centre verfolgt einen einzigartigen Ansatz, indem es Forschung und Praxiserfahrung miteinander verbindet, um die Finanzierung des Übergangs zu einer grüneren, klimaresilienten Zukunft zu ermöglichen, in der Gesellschaften nachhaltig gedeihen können.

Klima- und nachhaltige Energiefinanzierung ist ein zunehmend wichtiges, fachübergreifendes Thema, das häufig Synergien mit unseren anderen Kernthemen aufweist. Daher unterstützen wir Finanzinstitute weltweit bei der Umsetzung einer breiten Palette von Aktivitäten – aufbauend auf unserer bestehenden Expertise in anderen thematischen Bereichen.
