Our work with academics
We work with academic researchers to advance knowledge that helps address systemic challenges through capital markets. We equip researchers with investor-grade climate data, powering independent research that sharpens the industry’s understanding of risk. We’re supporting tomorrow’s talent through scholar programs and student research challenges. And we bring academics, practitioners, and policymakers together through co-supervised projects, exchanges and events that aim to close the gap between theory and practice.
