Frankfurt School UNEP Collaborating Centre for Climate & Sustainable Energy Finance
The Frankfurt School-UNEP Collaborating Centre for Climate & Sustainable Energy Finance is a unique “think-and-do” tank combining research, education and project implementation, with the aim of facilitating private sector investment and financing of clean energy and climate change mitigation and adaptation projects across the globe. With a view to foster a long-term shift towards a low-carbon economy, the Centre works directly with the key actors in finance, government and industry to improve their ability to mobilize capital towards new technologies, and overcome risks and barriers that hamper progress. Jointly with its partners, the Centre is constantly elaborating and field-testing new financial instruments, products and services that serve the growing markets for energy efficiency and clean energy production.
