Academic Engagement

The academic engagement team at the CCE is building an international network of leading academics working on effective governance, law and policy to drive corporate climate action. We work with researchers at all stages of their career to help communicate their insights to board members, lawyers, policy makers, and practitioners through a range of events and publications.

We support academics who show thought leadership, insight and high-quality evidence to reach our international network of board members, lawyers, policy makers, and practitioners. These networks have been developed through the CCE programmes: Chapter Zero, the Climate Governance Initiative, Law for Climate Action and Climate Policy.

The Bridge - Hughes Hall, University of Cambridge

As part of Hughes Hall’s Bridge Initiative, we bridge between academia and boardrooms as well as across multiple academic disciplines and professional practices. In this we serve as a hub of knowledge for corporate climate governance to;

Convene thought leaders globally;
Disseminate findings and bring best evidence and thinking to bear on corporate climate governance;
Leverage evidence-based research and interventions for pragmatic climate action on boards and within corporations.

Our approach seeks to foster:

Collaborative, multidisciplinary, accessible research
Regional insights around the globe, transnational exchange and understanding
Convening that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.

We welcome approaches from individuals and groups who wish to join us in this work.
