Finance & Resilience

The Finance & Resilience team has two focus areas. It leads on the levers and institutions controlled by finance ministers and is also the strategic home for E3G’s work on climate risk, resilience, and adaptation. 

This team leads work related to the role of finance ministers/ministries in the climate transition both at national and multilateral level including public and private finance levers, national financing frameworks, and climate information architecture. It aims for financial and economic systems to be resilient to climate risk through the transition. This includes working through multilateral forums such as the G7 and G20 and supporting leading jurisdictions to champion resilient deep decarbonisation through sustainable finance policy frameworks.

The team leads E3G’s work on international rules and institutions relating to financial and economic resilience, including the IMF, debt, financial stability and prudential regimes, fiscal rules, and tax at macro level. The team supports the International Transition Plan Network and previously hosted the Secretariat of the Transition Plan Taskforce.

The Finance & Resilience team also leads work on climate risk, resilience and adaptation. This includes work related to climate risk governance, integration of climate risk into the financial system, and working with E3G’s climate diplomacy and governance specialists to influence the politics of adaptation and Loss and Damage as well as climate security.
