Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL)
We are an impact-led institute within the University of Cambridge developing industry leadership, sector pathways and commercially-viable solutions to transform markets for a sustainable future.
For over three decades we have worked with leaders and innovators across business, finance and government to accelerate action.
We believe wide-scale change can happen through markets and take an evidence-based approach to transition pathways which inform strategy, action and investment to enable an inclusive and resilient economy.
Through our hubs in Cambridge, Cape Town and Brussels, and a global network of leaders and partners, we bring together insight, influence and action to accelerate market‑wide transformation.
