Overview
Explore how you can create a more inclusive and sustainable future for all with a Virtual Masterclass
In the wake of the global pandemic and ongoing climate crisis, the sustainable investing space is booming, with more private sector capital flowing towards tackling the world’s biggest challenges than ever. While promising, this endeavor is dwarfed by major financial gaps if we are still to meet the Sustainable Development Goals.
As a result, all ecosystem players must make a concerted effort to foster an environment that fully embraces sustainability, mobilizes finance, and builds inclusive markets. The resulting shift in perspective and action can then apply creative, practical, and inclusive approaches that give voice and value to the world’s most vulnerable.
In this masterclass, examine a novel ecosystem approach, developed over 12 years by IIX, to address risks and policy challenges and discuss solutions that can transform financial markets globally. Explore how you can add critical value to sustainable investing activities happening around the world with the right answers to the following questions:
- How can the public sector and civil society be instrumental in mainstreaming impact?
- What is the role of policy and how can policy initiatives be designed to harmonize achieving financial returns and sustainable outcomes?
- How can innovative cross-sector partnerships accelerate global progress towards achieving the SDGs?
