Centre for Resilience and Sustainable Development

A transdisciplinary action-research centre in applied resilience science
 

 

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

From the perspective of trust and cooperation as key to solving global challenges, we break down the silos between sectors, harness new theories of change and consider legacy effects using evidence, so that new systems can be introduced. By blending system dynamics with political and economic analysis and rigorously developed business cases, we help achieve lasting change. We have helped over 160 companies and over 20 countries through our cutting-edge research and capacity building efforts.

 

Our research enables:

  • Governments and civil sector foster innovation and enterprise to deliver social and economic benefits consistently.
  • Companies to develop life-changing products and services, build better businesses, create meaningful jobs, and improve the environment for the future collectively.
  • Decision makers to reinvent policies and practices to facilitate their institutions to move to higher sustainable and productive activities.
