About
The International Sustainability Institute was established to further the development of sustainable research and thought, advocating global fiscal and financial sustainability.
The Institute provides a forum for the exchange and development of new ideas between stakeholders across the Channel Islands and the offshore world.
The work of the Institute is concentrated in the areas of global fiscal and financial sustainability. Areas where the intellectual capital and professional expertise of the Channel Islands and other offshore centres can be harnessed in the pursuit of global good. Through the development of a core research programme, the Institute contributes to global thinking on strategy and policy in these chosen policy areas.
Our Advisory Council
The International Sustainability Institute’s Advisory Council is an advisory body comprising members with significant depth of expertise and experience of international policy issues to provide independent governance and oversight to the work of the organisation.
