The Finance Lab brings together public and private financial institutions, policymakers, regulators, corporates, civil society and others to shape solutions to mobilise finance for resilience and align financial flows with climate resilient development and nature recovery goals, and help to close the protection gap for people and economies, through unlocking the power of data and analytics.

Access to data is often noted as a barrier to adaptation and nature recovery.

This is not the case.

The Resilient Planet Finance Lab is hosted at the Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford, in collaboration with the UNDRR, IDF and wider Resilient Planet Hub partners, with the goal of using data and analytics to build the tools, frameworks, metrics and taxonomies necessary to mobilise action and capital for adaptation, food, water, nature, infrastructure and social systems aligned with national goals.

We work both at national and global scale, as well as at more local scales to mobilise finance in particular sectors.
