ELFA joins the new Insight Investment and Oxford University Prize for Greening Finance as a Nominating Partner

We are delighted to join the new Insight Investment and Oxford University Prize for Greening Finance as a nominating partner. Accelerating green innovation in the global financial system is a key part of climate change action and achieving the SDGs.

The University of Oxford has established a prestigious new annual prize in green finance. Up to £50,000 will be awarded annually, with the option of a research residency at Oxford for the winners. A permanent endowment has been established to support the prize in perpetuity through a generous donation from Insight Investment.

The Greening Finance Prize has two categories open to individuals and not-for-profit research teams. The first category is a research prize for outstanding research that helps society better understand how environmental change influences finance and investment, and how economic and financial systems can contribute to achieving global environmental sustainability. The second is a service prize seeking to recognise individuals or not-for-profit organisations who have provided outstanding support for the furtherance of green finance.

To apply, please complete the nomination form at the bottom of this webpage which also includes the terms and conditions of entry: https://sustainablefinance.ox.ac.uk/prize/
