About Us

A knowledge and networking hub designed to align India’s financial sector towards a more sustainable future.

A first-of-its-kind initiative in India, Center for Sustainable Finance (CSF) aims to build an ecosystem through knowledge sharing and networking with various stakeholders, that would reorient the financial intermediation provided by banks and capital markets towards sustainable development. CSF aims to make the financial system resilient to increased financial risks while enabling a Just transition to a low-carbon economy.

CSF offers support to policymakers and regulators to make this integral shift in capital allocation by developing a common platform for engagement, enabling dialogue between stakeholders; sharing of best practices, research and analysis; delivering capacity-building workshops for banks and financial institutions; as well as providing inputs for policy-making and financial sector regulation. CSF is managed by Climate Policy Initiative (CPI).

CPI is an analysis and advisory organization with deep expertise in finance and policy. CPI’s mission is to help governments, businesses, and financial institutions drive economic growth while addressing climate change.

Financial Flows to Sustainable Agriculture in India

  • New Delhi
  • 10:15 am to 01:00 pm

India’s agriculture sector faces a multifaceted “Grand Challenge”: ensuring food security for a growing population, supporting rural livelihoods, and managing the adverse impacts of climate change, all while contending with limited resources, financial constraints, and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Addressing these challenges necessitates a transition toward sustainable agriculture. In this event, CPI will launch and present the findings of the “Financial Flows to Sustainable Agriculture in India” report, which offers insights into public and private finance sources, intermediaries, and end-use activities of sustainable agriculture during the financial year (FY) 2020–21 and 2021-22. This event brings together stakeholders—including policymakers, regulators, and private investors— in a collaborative effort to share the research observations with the ecosystem and find opportunities to augment finance and advance sustainable practices in the agriculture sector.
