The University of Cambridge has launched a new climate campaign; Cambridge is forging a future for our planet, and it has refreshed its online climate hub and news pages. The new Journal, Cambridge Forum on Corporate Climate Governance, is highlighted under the theme “Rethinking economics”.
The online climate hub includes impact stories from across Cambridge to show how research is pioneering climate and nature solutions. There are 236 climate and nature-related projects happening now at the University. The theme of “Rethinking economics” showcases innovative approaches to valuing social and environmental impact.
The article about the Journal focuses on the upcoming issue ‘Making Climate Finance Work – Insights from Ethics, Economics and Law’, which discusses the dynamics of finance: how public and private sources can interact, how risks are allocated, and how governance structures can align incentives with climate goals.
About the Journal
The Centre for Climate Engagement is supporting the launch of the new open access journal on Corporate Climate Governance published by Cambridge University Press (CUP).
The journal Cambridge Forum on Corporate Climate Governance will explore how actions to address climate change by the corporate sector can contribute to a sustainable future and the decision-making processes and legal, regulatory and financial frameworks required to facilitate this.
Abstracts are open and ongoing for the State-of-the-Art section of Cambridge Forum on Corporate Climate Governance. This section will publish papers on any relevant topic, with a particular focus on cutting-edge research, new ideas, and responses to current events. It is dedicated to high-quality contributions that fall outside the scope of themed issues but align with our core mission: to push forward the global corporate climate agenda by using peer-reviewed research to better inform, engage and influence individuals working in or advising private-listed companies, family-owned businesses, state-owned enterprises and other corporate entities. The section is edited by the Editors-in-Chief.
