We work in close dialogue with financial actors to develop a common understanding of climate risk and jointly identify approaches and tools for investors to incorporate climate risk into their strategic decision making.
The board ensures the quality and the relevance of our work. Through regular meetings, the Advisory Board prioritises and informs the content of our work and contributes with in-kind resources and expertise on specific themes. The board has no organisational responsibilities relating to the functioning or budget of CICERO Climate Finance and operates on an independent basis from CICERO's other work on climate finance and green bonds.
