The Sustainable Finance Leadership Series <\/b>is a forum for leading voices in finance and sustainable development to present their experience and put forward new ideas on how to accelerate progress.<\/p>\n

Sustainable finance is a multi-dimensional and multi-disciplinary priority, as such the Leadership Series will draw on expertise from across the world and from leaders in financial institutions, financial policy, research and civil society. Crucially, a majority of perspectives included in the Leadership Series will be drawn from outside the LSE, allowing a breadth of sectoral, geographical and disciplinary views.
