Job Titles:
- Research Associate in Financial Risk Data Analytics at the University of Oxford Smith School of Enterprise
Julia Bingler is Research Associate in Financial Risk Data Analytics at the University of Oxford Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment. She also holds a position as Fellow for Monetary Policy at the Council on Economic Policies, and is a member of the sustainable macro researchers network.
Julia's research focuses on how to achieve a climate and environmental risk resilient financial system by integrating climate and environmental considerations into financial decision-making. She works on climate transition risk metrics, decision-useful climate and environmental commitments, corporate climate and environmental disclosures, and on sovereign climate and environmental risk and resilience analysis.
Her research combines state of the art machine learning methods in Natural Language Processing with micro- and macroeconomic theory and econometric analyses. This strong interdisciplinary focus leads to novel concepts for managing climate- and environment-related financial risks that are strongly valued by decision-makers and financial institutions alike. She co-designed ClimateBert, a natural language processing algorithm, which provides researchers and practitioners with a tool that outperforms previous NLP methods to extract and analyse unstructured climate-related text from corporate annual reports, such as companies' climate-related risks/opportunities and the preciseness of their commitments. Julia's research has been awarded the GRASFI best paper award in 2022, and was featured in various media and specialised expert outlets, including the Financial Times and Bloomberg.
Julia has a strong track record of projects and engagements with financial supervisors, central banks, governments, non-governmental organizations and private financial institutions, such as the Swiss National Bank, the German Bundesbank, the European Central Bank, and the Banque de France. She also works with central bankers and financial supervisors in various ASEAN countries and Japan. Julia regularly participates in the UNFCCC climate conferences (COPs) as an observer on finance-related topics, and developed a framework to assess and track the implementation of Article 2.1c of the Paris Agreement for the independent Global Stocktake Finance Working Group. She also regularly advises non-state actors and international initiatives on climate target setting and disclosures. Julia has been the lead of the UNEP-FI TCFD workstream on risk management and metrics & targets modules in 2021 and continues her work there as an external advisor. She is member by invitation of the Science-based targets initiatives' Financial Sector Net Zero Expert Advisory Group, regularly peer-reviews core methodological frameworks by various initiatives like PACTA, and has been lead researcher for reports by the International Platform on Sustainable Finance (IPSF) or the Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC). For WWF, she developed a set of templates for forward-looking climate risk disclosures to ease comparability of the results across institutions.
Prior to joining CEP, Julia did her PhD in Economics at ETH Zurich, where she focused on climate transition risk metrics and climate risk disclosures. Before starting the PhD, she worked at a think tank in Germany on sustainable finance regulation and the implementation of Art. 2.1c of the Paris Agreement at the national, European and international level. She holds a M.Sc. in Economics from Leipzig University and in Environmental Economics and Climate Change from London School of Economics and Political Science. For her studies at LSE, she was awarded the Departmental best overall performance prize.

Dr Radhika Khosla is Associate Professor at the Smith School of Enterprise and Environment, School of Geography and the Environment, and Research Director of the Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development, Somerville College, at the University of Oxford. She is the Programme Leader in Zero Carbon Energy Use at Oxford's ZERO Institute.
An urban climatologist by training, her work seeks to advance understanding of one of the most fundamental questions of our time: how can societies improve human well-being while preserving and enhancing the environment? Her interdisciplinary research examines the productive tensions between energy consumption trajectories, urban transitions, and climate change governance - in the context of development - that lie at the heart of this global challenge. Her research portfolio includes being Principal Investigator of the Oxford Martin School's interdisciplinary and multi-country programme on the Future of Cooling, which examines and helps shape the unprecedented increase in cooling energy demand growth and its relationship to the sustainable development goals. She is the Co-Investigator of Oxford Net Zero, an interdisciplinary research programme aimed at informing effective, equitable, and ambitious climate action.
Radhika works closely at the interface of research and policy. She is Special Advisor to the UK's House of Commons Environment Audit Committee for the inquiry on heat resilience and sustainable cooling. She serves on the UK Government's Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office UK-India Advisory Board.
She has worked on a number of international scientific reports and is the lead author of the UNEP's spotlight report on the first Global Cooling Stocktake (2023), lead author of the UNEP Emissions Gap Report (2020) for the chapter on low carbon lifestyles, and contributing author to the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report (2022) for the buildings chapter.
Radhika has led research agendas and international knowledge networks on cooling, urban energy demand, sustainable development, and climate change policy. Using socio-technical systems analysis she examines these themes across levels of governance. Her research priorities include interrogating how, when, and why does energy use change as households urbanize and lifestyles change? What forms of governance and political rationalities characterize the varied urban responses to climate change, given their (often competing) objectives to provide urban services? Whether, and how, can emerging economies accelerate energy demand transitions? And how can we understand and equitably shape the future of global cooling demand?
As Research Director of the Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development, she helps bridge research and networks on India at Oxford and international and was recognized as one of the ‘most influential people' in UK-India relations (2019).
Radhika's other current academic affiliations are at University of Pennsylvania (USA), and the Centre for Policy Research (India). She is on the Steering Committee of the Smart Surfaces Coalition; on boards of journals and book presses; and holds a range of advisory roles within Oxford. Previously, she has been a Research Affiliate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA), Fellow at the Centre for Policy Research (India), and Staff Scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council (USA).
Radhika holds a PhD in the Geophysical Sciences from the University of Chicago and an undergraduate and master's degrees in Physics from the University of Oxford.
