Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) is pleased to welcome Dharshan Wignarajah<\/a> as Director, joining its London office. Dharshan will lead CPI\u2019s London-based team, engaging in global work across CPI\u2019s business lines, from CPI’s climate finance tracking work,<\/a> which includes the Global Landscape of Climate Finance<\/a>, to sector-specific work in areas such as adaptation and resilience, biodiversity, and urban finance, and contributing to CPI\u2019s overall efforts on scaling sustainable finance and net zero integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dharshan has more than twenty years of public sector, industry, and strategic advisory experience in climate and development finance, impact investing, clean technology and renewable energy, with particular emphasis on fostering innovation that leverages scarce public resource to catalyze private finance at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to add Dharshan\u2019s passion, expertise, and innovative mindset to the CPI team,\u201d said Barbara Buchner, CPI\u2019s Global Managing Director. \u201cMany of us have collaborated with Dharshan as a trusted colleague working to increase ambition, scale, and impact in climate finance, so this is a perfect fit as CPI continues to grow the reach of our climate finance and policy work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dharshan joins CPI from the UK Government\u2019s Cabinet Office<\/a> COP26 Unit, where he led on finance and aspects of resilience, as part of the UK\u2019s COP Presidency. Prior to that he led the UK FCDO\u2019s Investment Mobilization Team, as well as private sector experience with McKinsey & Company and Shell International Renewables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have both admired and benefited from CPI\u2019s groundbreaking work in fostering sustainable economic development while simultaneously addressing our most pressing climate issues,\u201d added Dharshan. \u201cI am very excited to help expand this work as we continue to mainstream climate finance across the public and private sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
