Welcome to the Climate Finance and Policy Group. We investigate options for public policy and for private actors to catalyze finance for new low-carbon technologies and climate resilience. To this end, we study the role of finance (investment, lending, underwriting) for technological change in emissions-intensive sectors like energy and transport, using modelling and data-driven empirical methods.

Our group is based at ETH Zurich's Department of Humanities, Social and Political Sciences (D-GESS) and affiliated with the Energy Science Center (ESC), the Centre for Energy Policy and Economics (CEPE) and the Institute of Science, Technology and Policy (ISTP).
