The Centre for Sustainable Finance bridges the worlds of business, finance and policymaking in order to enable the transition to a sustainable economy, facilitating stronger mutual understanding between financial institutions, their clients in the real economy and the institutions which govern them. For example, the Centre is academic visitor at the Bank of England helping to support its work in leading the sustainable finance agenda. It has worked with De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) on the financial impact of disruptive energy transition, collaborated with the South African National Treasury and Banco de Mexico on embedding environmental scenarios into financial risk frameworks and was the knowledge partner for the G20 Green Finance Study Group in 2016 and 2017. Finally, as a founding member of the Global Research Alliance for Sustainable Finance and Investment, the Centre is an official research stakeholder for the Network for Greening the Financial System.
The Centre for Business Transformation's most recent outputs are around nature base solutions involve:
1. Decision-making in a nature positive world – corporate diagnostic tool targeted at executive management.
2. Water Catchment reports – being launched 13 June.
a. LENS – While nature-based programs are currently small-scale, they are set to expand rapidly under new Government agriculture and environment policies and targets post-Brexit. Developed against this backdrop, the East of England Landscape Enterprise Network (LENS) project is a national pioneer in nature-based solutions. It provides a successful, scalable model that brings together cereal and water companies, local councils and farmers to support sustainable agriculture, offering a potential blueprint for other rural areas.
b. PHNMS – Water quality is a key area of concern for UK policymakers. The Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan (25YEP) calls for restoring at least 75 per cent of national waters to ‘close to their natural state’, and developers and water companies must now pursue ‘nutrient neutral’ development in parts of the country. The ground-breaking Poole Harbour Nutrient Management Scheme (PHNMS) in Dorset was developed against this backdrop. Set up by and for farmers, the scheme is supported by regulators, the agricultural sector and local stakeholders. Its goal is to stem the nutrient leaching harming Poole Harbour’s protected coastal habitat and unique wildlife.
