Our vision
The Green Finance Institute (GFI) is at the forefront of shaping how finance can be used to facilitate real economy transition, globally. We create the enabling environments and financial solutions needed to accelerate the transition to a net-zero and nature positive economy. We test, demonstrate, and scale financial solutions across sectors and geographies, with a tenacious focus on practical outcomes. Often, this involves operationalising pioneering concepts and breaking down barriers to action to enable capital to move between two counterparties.
Our aim is always the same: to fill the execution gap by ensuring that capital flows to the initiatives that make the biggest difference to the real economy.
