The Organizer’s Recap
The closing panel Investment Strategy: Washing out greenwashing for the 1.5°C Summit. Great discussion with Amie Shuttleworth, Djoann Fal, Elsa Pau, Mingles Tsoi on becoming a more innovative and genuinely impactful investor despite all the challenges we face in sustainable investment. We all agreed that a more transparent regulatory framework, more transparency, and more conscious building are needed.
Indeed, sustainable investing is gaining popularity among institutional and retail investors. Trillions of dollars and almost 6,000 ESG funds are available in the market as of December 2021. Sustainable investing remains challenging as there are still a lot of barriers in this space. #Greenwashing, for example, has been cited as the most significant barrier to sustainable investment.
Investors have a crucial role in shaping the sustainable investment landscape and pushing the industry forward. We believe new technologies and innovative solutions are vital in reducing the impacts of climate change and helping us fight climate change. But there is still a lot of work to boost investors’ confidence and help them make informed investment decisions.
Speaking of which, every one of us has a role in driving a #sustainable #future. It’s never too late to start thinking about what we can do as an individual to help solve the planet’s problems and create a world worth living in for the next generations.
