Climate Compatible Growth
Overview
The Climate Compatible Growth (CCG) program identifies low-carbon development pathways and policies for low and middle-income countries to achieve increased resilience, prosperity, innovation and equitable, science-based solutions to the sustainability challenge.
It brings together a world-class interdisciplinary team of economists, engineers, data scientists, and geographers at the University of Oxford to address issues around sustainable growth, state capacity, institutional reform, climate change adaptation, and the decarbonisation of power and transport systems.
The CCG provides global public goods to help countries develop economic strategies, plans, and policies to attract investment into low-carbon growth opportunities across multiple sectors. These are to support growth aspirations and better meet the sustainable development goals (SDGs).
No data, no deal? Impact measurement and capital flows for climate-compatible growth
Impact measurement and management (IMM) is becoming increasingly important in the industry to promote transparency and integrity. However, limited research exists on how IMM affects investor decision-making and the supply of impact capital, especially in emerging markets.This report found that the shift towards IMM risks exacerbating existing inequalities in capital access, particularly for investees in emerging markets who need support in measuring and managing impact.

Mobilising investment for Climate Compatible Growth Zambia
The end of COP27 negotiations brought an unprecedented decision to provide loss and damage funding to countries most affected by climate change. But the agreement still lacks policy and guidance on how countries can access external funding.
A report released in collaboration with Climate Compatible Growth analysed how Zambia could overcome this gap and attract investment to support climate compatible growth.

COP29 Expert Panel Briefing - Hope, fear and fossil fuels at COP29
COP29 is fast approaching and while concerns mount over the host country’s ties to oil and gas, NGOs, scientists and campaigners sound dire warnings that time is running out. These calls to action are backed up by a series of unprecedented weather events – hurricanes, fires and floods – that will pile pressure on world leaders to make COP29 a success.
No data, No deal? Impact investing could risk entrenching inequality if not monitored.
In this webinar we will bring together key voices to unpack the findings of this report and discuss how to navigate the delicate balance between impact and fairness. Dr. Edward Mungai -partner and lead consultant at Impact Africa Consulting Limited, and a recognised expert in sustainability and impact strategies, will lead the discussion alongside George Carew-Jones and Dr. Alex Money, co-authors of this report.
