About CCSF

A knowledge hub for climate and sustainable finance

The Center for Climate and Sustainable Finance (CCSF) Universitas Indonesia, established in 2022 under the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA), extends the decade-long climate and biodiversity expertise of its sister organizations under the Institute for Sustainable Earth and Resources (ISER UI). CCSF focuses on developing finance policies to address the climate crisis in Indonesia.

With a focus on finance, CCSF Universitas Indonesia responds to the dire need of tackling complex global discussions of how to formulate finance policy that truly delivers in the attempt of averting the climate crisis in Indonesia.
