The Data Analytics Prize
2024 Data Analytics Prize winners announced
Congratulations to team ClimateSafe, winners of the 2024 Data Analytics Prize. The team were awarded the Prize after final pitches and judging at the Climate Investment Challenge finale, 18th June.
Discovering the next generation of analytics innovation
The Data Analytics Prize is an award for students’ creative solutions which apply climate and environmental datasets to challenges relating to climate change and finance. The Prize is supported by CGFI as part of the Climate Investment Challenge (CIC).
Solutions may help to integrate transition or physical climate risk into financial decision-making or develop novel green financial instruments. The winning team will be awarded £7,000 and CGFI support to further develop the solution.
2023 winners
Team Reckon were the winners of the inaugural 2023 Data Analytics Prize.
Aparna Holenarasipura Sreedhara & Akanksha Sahay’s entry “Financing a just coal transition” used climate, geospatial and economic data and climate risk modelling to understand physical risk and coal transition-relevant job losses. The team will receive further assistance from CGFI as they develop their solution.
The team, pictured right with CGFI panel judge Brian Matthews and the CGFI’s Yllka Hysaj, received the award in the 2023 CIC Finale at the Royal Institution, presenting their ideas to an expert panel from industry and academia.
