About us
The University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) is a globally influential Institute developing leadership and solutions for a sustainable economy. Our Rewiring the Economy framework shows how the economy can be ‘rewired’, through focused collaboration between business, government and finance institutions, to deliver positive outcomes for people and environment in pursuit of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For over three decades we have built individual and organisational leadership capacity and capabilities, and created industry-leading collaborations, to catalyse change and accelerate the path to a sustainable economy. Our Rewiring Leadership framework sets out our model for the leadership needed to achieve this. Our interdisciplinary research engagement builds the evidence base for practical action, through a focus on six cross-cutting themes critical to the delivery of the SDGs: sustainable finance, economic innovation, inclusive development, natural capital, future cities and leadership. Our work Each year we work with business, government and finance leaders in over 250 organisations including consumer brands, global banks and national governments, attracting more than 1,200 delegates into our programmes. Patron The former HRH The Prince of Wales was Royal Founding Patron of the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) and has been actively involved in a range of our work.

The role that universities play in leading a sustainable future is vital – but how they lead is equally important: “They have to lead with optimism and hope: It can't all be doom and gloom... universities need to inspire people, to show them that they have agency and action.” IKEA’s Chief Sustainability Officer, Karen Pflug sat down with CISL to discuss the critical role universities play in the transition to a sustainable economy: 👪 Convening the key actors that together can foster sustainability: Universities are able to bring together big businesses, governments and policymakers from around the world in a spirit of collaboration to unlock systems change. 💡Fostering sustainable innovation: Many of the solutions that exist today emerge from academic research and are incubated and curated in universities. 🎓Delivering sustainability education: The academic sector imparts knowledge that equips students to feel empowered and enabled to deliver positive impacts for people and planet. 📣 Advocacy for positive change: At their best, universities are change agents, acting as catalysts for the transformations needed for sustainable economic systems. What part do you think universities must play in delivering a sustainable economy? Share your thoughts in the comments.
