Description :

Global societies are facing pressing and urgent social and environmental problems, and the need for impact capital is greater than ever to serve underserved markets and communities. Currently estimated at USD 715 billion and set to grow to up to USD 26 trillion, the impact investing space continues to attract a fast-growing cohort of investors with the intention to generate positive, measurable social and environmental impact alongside strong financial returns. As we move into a post-Covid world, this session will discuss global and regional impact trends and both private and public investment opportunities such as financial inclusion, affordable healthcare, education, sustainable agriculture, green energy, amongst others. As flows continue to accelerate, this session will also focus on developments and challenges in this space including impact management and measurement, and how the fast-growing industry can evolve to efficiently deploy much needed capital to underserved communities.
