Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL)

ClimateWise is a voluntary global membership initiative bringing together reinsurers, insurers brokers and industry service providers to respond to the opportunities and challenges presented by climate change.  The initiative is coordinated through its secretariat based at the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) within the Centre for Sustainable Finance (CSF).

CISL is uniquely placed to bring together the ClimateWise membership with leading firms from banking and investing through CSFs sister platforms the Banking Environment Initiative and the Investment Leaders Group resulting in a more coordinated and informed approach to shared challenges. The University of Cambridge brings world-class academic expertise and perspectives to these challenges.
