Shaping UK Climate Policy through a UCL 'Green Corporate and Financial Reform Hub'

This project aims to work on influencing the latest UK Government’s green energy and finance agendas

With the UK’s newly elected government pledging to become the global leader in green finance, this project seizes a rare policy window to influence corporate and financial regulation in support of net zero. The Green Corporate & Financial Reform Hub will unite UCL’s broad expertise to build capacity and shape reform across two key themes: the regulation of UK private finance and corporate sustainability, and the governance and financing of UK energy production.

Activities include capacity-building workshops with civil society partners, policy-focused “Collaborative Conversations” with government stakeholders, and written submissions to select committees. The Hub will also engage students through a Policy Fellow role and the UCL/ClientEarth Research Clinic. Anticipated impacts include stronger policy influence, enhanced researcher-policy engagement, and real-world learning opportunities for students. The project aims to embed UCL at the heart of shaping a just and ambitious green transition in the UK.
