We are working with Commonwealth small states to improve financial protocols to empower the youth and the leadership of the countries to make better decisions related to sustainable investment.
In this action research project, we are applying several methodologies our researchers developed at the Cambridge University, including Cambridge Policy Boot Camp (CPBC), Cambridge Policy Simulation Lab (CPSL), Cambridge Country Consultation (CCC) and Cambridge Sustainable Investment Markers to name a few. The principle of the initiative is Dr Nazia Habib. You can reach her by email: nsh29@cam.ac.uk.
