Sustainable finance and ESG impact investment are amongst the most potent tools to help address some of the fundamental challenges that modern society is facing.
On Wednesday and Thursday, 24-25 August at 7:00am EDT, GBSN for Sustainable Finance and ESG Investing Impact Community will be hosting a two day Seed Class designed to explore ways to integrate values and skills associated with ESG investing into curricula. There have been challenges associated with how to integrate ESG into teaching, research, and operations across our academic communities. Our goal with this initiative is to “plant seeds” around ways to incorporate sustainable finance in a more holistic way.
The GBSN for Sustainable Finance & ESG Investment IMPACT Community serves as a forum for taking Sustainable Finance to the next level. The goals of this Impact Community are to improve the perception and the management of risks and opportunities associated with ESG factors, contribute to unlocking sustainable financial flows and positively impact the societies in the developing world, and making local businesses more perennial and sustainable. With the GBSN mission in mind, this Impact Community aims to increase awareness and support from a North to South perspective and to increase cooperation from a South to South perspective.
