Our research explores fundamental questions arising from real-world problems faced by practitioners.
The ‘problem-focus’ of our research provides the information and collaborations required to develop high-impact, systemic solutions for business, government and the finance sector.
Our approach
Research at CISL is ‘challenge-led’, rooted in real-world problems experienced by practitioners in business, government and financial institutions. The co-creation of research with our community and the explicit use of evidence, methods and data allows CISL to understand both the challenges of sustainability and shifting public awareness in order to future-proof businesses and guide practitioners.
The Prince of Wales Global Sustainability Fellowship Programme
The Programme aims to foster new thinking on sustainability, leading to practical insights, tools and recommendations for decision-makers to carry into their organisations alongside important advances in fundamental knowledge.
Publications and resources
Our research, undertaken by leading academics, is channelled into practical business and policy solutions. At present, we publish and contribute to a combination of academic working papers, journal publications, practitioner-based reports and short articles.
