Details
The idea that capital markets could help solve global problems such as poverty and climate change is acquiring a new urgency as government budgets tighten and nations around the world start to focus on narrow national interests. For those working on social and environmental challenges, private sector financing and impact investing could therefore provide a critical part of the capital needed to develop solutions. At the same time, appetite is growing among donors and investors to use both their investment funds and their skills to address challenges ranging from climate change to lack of access to healthcare and education, while also generating a financial return.
