A collaboration between ISF and the UTS Centre for Business and Social Innovation has been declared winner of the 2020 CBSI Research Impact Team Award.
The annual CBSI Research Impact Awards celebrate exemplary work being done by the UTS Centre for Business and Social Innovation (CBSI) and its collaborators. Judged on three key criteria – publication outputs, collaborations and partnerships, and public engagement – the awards recognise the impact the work of our researchers has beyond the university.
The winning project: Australia and EU Roadmap for Sustainable Finance
ISF research director Scott Kelly joined CBSI colleagues Melissa Edwards, Alice Klettner and Paul Brown to review the European Union's Action Plan on Financing Sustainable Growth, comparing each of its 10 action points to the current state of play in Australia. Their findings, published as the Sustainable Finance report, were presented at a number of industry stakeholder meetings and has led to Australia launching a multi-stakeholder sustainable finance initiative. This project was delivered in partnership with Climate-KIC Australia and the European Union. Learn more about the team's research here.
