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.

Core Expertise

01

Adaptation & Disaster Risk Finance

Adaptation Finance Planning | Risk Financing Strategies & Instruments | Climate-Resilient Infrastructure | Climate Risk Governance

Working with public and private sector actors, we provide solutions for the management of climate and environment-related risks through national frameworks and institutional strategies, operations and products. We work to develop new or adjusted financial services or products that facilitate climate adaptation and the strengthening of long-term resilience. For residual risks, disaster risk management provisions are considered, including insurance solutions.

02

Climate Mitigation

Green Finance Frameworks & Taxonomies | Sustainable Lending & Investment Policies | Green Bonds & Capital Market Instruments | Carbon Pricing & Emission Trading | Renewable Energy Finance | Climate Scenario Analysis | Alignment with Paris Agreement & Net-Zero Pathways

We partner with financial institutions to implement energy efficiency financing programs that are designed to address significant climate mitigation (as well as adaptation challenges) by encouraging the private sector to invest in green and innovative technologies that promote energy, water and material efficiency solutions as well as renewable energy.

03

Circular Economy

Circular Economy Finance Strategies | Green Innovation & Resource Efficiency | Waste-to-Value Investment Models | Industrial Symbiosis & Supply Chain Finance | Financing for Recycling & Reuse Industries | Public–Private Partnerships for Circular Transition | Policy & Regulatory Frameworks

We work with public and private sector sectors to identify finance-related challenges and possible solutions in achieving the transition to a circular economy. We adopt a systemic perspective in our approach, paying close attention to broader framework conditions, including regulatory, and the build-up of intelligence, knowledge and awareness of the specific characteristics of circularity.

Biodiversity & Nature

Nature-Based Solutions | Ecosystem Service Valuation | Green Bonds & Biodiversity Credits | Conservation Trust Funds | Sustainable Agriculture & Forestry Finance | Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) | Nature Risk Integration (TNFD) | Policy Support for Nature-Positive Finance

Through systematic research and capacity building programmes, we aim to mainstream biodiversity in the lending and investment decisions of financial institutions. Building on our specialised expertise, we also design and implement programmes that enable the protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.

Our Frankfurt School Certified Expert in Biodiversity Finance course enables financial sectors to deepen their understanding of risks associated with biodiversity loss as well as knowledge and tools needed to support the preservation of Earth's diverse ecosystems as financial actors.

Transition Finance

Transition Taxonomies & Disclosure Standards | Bank & Corporate Transition Planning | Climate Risk Integration in Supervision | Blended Finance for Decarbonisation | Sustainable Infrastructure Finance | Just Transition Mechanisms | Data & Reporting (TCFD, ISSB, EU Taxonomy) | Institutional Capacity Building for Transition Finance

We aim to embed sustainability in the daily operations and strategic decisions of financial institutions. From climate-related financial risks, regulatory expectations, decarbonisation strategies to disclosure reporting, we adopt a pragmatic approach with clear, actionable insights and support to enable financial institutions in their journey to achieve a just and inclusive transition.

07

Green Urban Finance

-

We work closely with cities in developing financing solutions to achieve climate neutrality. We adopt a comprehensive approach to enhancing municipalities’ access to finance while identifying opportunities and risks in investment areas related to energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable urban planning as well as circular economy principles.
