Pierre Monnin

Pierre Monnin serves as a Visiting Professor in Practice at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), where he focuses on integrating environmental and social sustainability into monetary policy frameworks. He concurrently holds a Senior Fellow position at the Council on Economic Policies (CEP), an international think tank dedicated to sustainability policy development.

His academic credentials include:

• PhD in Economics from the University of Zurich
• MSc in Economics from Queen Mary, University of London
• MSc in Statistics and BA in Economics from the University of Neuchatel

Monnin's research centers on the critical intersection of central banking and sustainability, with particular expertise in:

• Adapting monetary policy operations to advance environmental and social objectives
• Addressing climate-related systemic risks through macroprudential policy tools
• Developing institutional frameworks for central banks to support equitable climate transitions
• Integrating climate risk assessments into financial stability monitoring

His recent policy publications reveal a clear trajectory toward actionable frameworks that bridge global climate goals with regional socioeconomic realities, particularly evident in his work on African economies' transition pathways and sovereign bond market alignment with net zero targets. This demonstrates a strategic shift from theoretical analysis to context-specific implementation blueprints for financial regulators.

Through his dual affiliations with LSE and CEP, Monnin actively shapes international policy discourse, leveraging his decade of experience at the Swiss National Bank to translate academic insights into practical regulatory solutions for central banks worldwide.
