The Centre for Energy, Finance and Development (CEFD) is a think tank dedicated to advancing the energy transition as a driver of sustainable development in the Global South.
Our work focuses on the intersection of energy policy, industrial strategy, and finance, exploring innovative pathways to mobilize capital, strengthen institutions, and design public policies that align climate action with economic diversification.
Our mission is to ensure that the energy transition fosters climate justice and shared prosperity.
We research the intersection of the energy transition, climate finance, and industrial policy to understand the political and economic challenges of building low-carbon economies. Our studies offer critical analyses that support the formulation of public policies, civil society strategies, and responsible private sector practices.
Drawing on the ideas developed in our research activities, we establish strategic partnerships with governments and civil society organizations to organize events and support agendas that promote concrete solutions for a just energy transition.
We make specialized debates more accessible to the general public and help raise awareness of key issues in the energy transition. Our communication strategy complements and amplifies the impact of our research and engagement activities.
