The NRFI community brings together scholars, professionals, and students dedicated to advancing sustainable finance for natural resources.

A Community for Sustainable Finance

The Natural Resources Finance Initiative (NRFI) at Duke University is more than a program, it’s a community of faculty, board members, students, alumni, and partners working together to transform the future of environmental finance.

Our people share a commitment to bridging the gap between academic insight and real-world impact, ensuring that financial innovation supports sustainable management of forests, water, and other vital natural resources.

Across disciplines and industries, NRFI’s people represent leadership in research, education, policy, and practice. Together, they shape how the world values and invests in nature.
