The Power of Capital Markets
Closing the $4 trillion annual SDG financing gap is feasible with a strategic reallocation of less than 4% from the $112 trillion global asset pool.
Impact investing, now at $1 trillion, is central in this endeavor, underscored by its additionality—essential for meaningful progress towards the SDGs.
This shift transcends basic capital injection, aiming for smart allocations that yield both financial returns and tangible positive impacts.
The essential change lies in recalibrating investor mindsets: prioritizing additionality and sustainable development as fundamental investment criteria.
This represents a significant pivot in global financial strategies towards a more sustainable future.
