In 2024, the World Economic Forum highlighted that the shortfall of financing available to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, has risen to an annual $ 4.2 trillion. This financial gap cannot be addressed by philanthropic actions and government loans. The private markets have a role to play.
How can we drive private capital towards projects that are creating positive change and working towards achieving the SDGs ?
One of the available levers of action in impact investing : a practice that anyone with an interest in finance should be aware of.
