Bridging the divide — Investing for inclusive and sustainable growth
Location
Event description
The Financial Times Climate & Impact Summit (June 17–18, London) will bring together policymakers, investors and business leaders to explore how capital can be mobilised to build a more resilient and sustainable global economy.
Paul Miller from the BGV team will be speaking about how tech for good startups can make a huge contribution in a panel, Bridging the divide - Investing for inclusive and sustainable growth.
Rising inequality and economic stress are fuelling public unrest, even as foreign aid and remittance flows decline. The IMF and World Bank warn that excessive inequality not only divides societies and weakens resilience but also slows growth. Yet new coalitions combining private capital with philanthropic and development finance to address climate impacts on vulnerable communities are gaining momentum. Impact investing has expanded rapidly — growing 21 per cent annually over the past five years to more than $1.5tn in assets. This surge in targeted capital for social and environmental outcomes signals fresh momentum for inclusive, climate-positive development.
How can climate investment and adaptation finance be designed to reduce inequality as well as emissions?
What role can impact investors, development banks and philanthropic foundations play in catalysing inclusive, climate-positive growth?
Could climate-linked taxation or social dividends help finance a fair transition without deterring investment?
