Feng Hu
Having previously led CWR’s work on water-nomics, Feng now serves on our advisory panel to help advance the conversation on integrating water considerations in planning sustainable transitions and mobilising finance toward climate and water resilience. Feng currently provides research and advisory services to help bridge implementation gaps in accelerating sustainability transitions, including for instance supporting the UNEP Finance Initiative (UNEP FI)’s policy work in Asia Pacific. He is one of the selected experts under the UNFCCC’s UAE-Belém work programme on indicators for the Global Goal on Adaptation, and is part of the Technical Expert Group for the development of the New Zealand Sustainable Finance Taxonomy. Prior to these roles, Feng held several senior sustainability positions at V.E, DBS Bank, and PwC New Zealand. During his tenure at CWR, he expanded the water-nomics conversation beyond China by co-authoring CWR’s seminal report “No Water No Growth – Does Asia Have Enough Water to Develop?”. Additionally, Feng has worked as a senior carbon auditor on various climate change mitigation projects across Asia and Africa, including renewable energy and improved cookstoves. Previously, Feng also sat on the Technical Working Group of the Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT) and worked as a senior carbon auditor on various types of climate change mitigation projects across Asia and Africa. Feng holds two MSc degrees – one in Finance (Economic Policy) from SOAS University of London and the other in Sustainable Resource Management from Technical University of Munich – and a BSc degree in Environmental Science from Zhejiang University.
