About
Where finance meets nature.
Ruhi Jha works in nature and sustainable finance in Paris. At AXA Climate she focuses on nature-based solutions — part of a broader aim to shift the financial sector toward a nature-positive economy.
Her work spans both sides of that question. With the UN Environment Programme she built nature–climate fiscal alignment tools and biodiversity-linked budget tagging for ministries of finance; at Amundi she analysed ESG risk across institutional portfolios under the EU's sustainable-finance framework; and through ESG advisory she has helped structure climate-aligned infrastructure finance. The thread runs back further still — to early research on the links between environment, sustainability and financial performance.
She holds degrees from Sciences Po and the University of California, Berkeley, and works in English and French.
