Climate Policy Initiative

CPI’s mission is to help nations grow while addressing increasingly scarce resources and climate risk. This is a complex challenge in which policy plays a crucial role.
CPI works to improve the most important energy and land use policies and business practices around the world, with a particular focus on finance. CPI’s analysts and advisors support decision makers through in-depth analysis on what works and what does not. We work in places that provide the most potential for policy impact, including Brazil, China, Europe, India, Indonesia, and the United States. CPI’s services include advisory and convening, analysis and assessments, and design and implementation of new solutions.
CPI has deep expertise in finance, and is a leader in navigating the financial aspects of energy, land use, and climate policies. CPI’s climate finance program conducts the most comprehensive mapping of climate finance flows available and convenes public and private stakeholders to design and implement innovative financial instruments through The Global Innovation Lab for Climate Finance. We also work with governments, companies, investors, and foundations around the world to assess, test, and replicate their policies, programs, and investments. This work ensures that resources are spent as effectively as possible.
