About Us
The Green Finance Center, established in 2018, supports the greening of the financial system by moving green finance from a philanthropic niche to the mainstream of markets—with the recognition that China must be a key role player in this movement. The Center houses the Institute’s efforts on green finance including carbon markets development, starting the US-China Green Fund, and advising the G20 green finance working group. Building on these efforts and by focusing on three core areas—carbon, finance and fintech—the Center aims to promote market-driven solutions to foster a vibrant international green finance market through convening, advocacy, thought leadership, and our expertise.
