In this article, Lee Mannion provides coverage of the GIIN Investor Forum in Amsterdam. He highlights the urgency in GIIN CEO Amit Bouri's opening remarks, which claimed, "Business as usual is not enough...It is more important than ever for the private sector to consider how our work can ensure a just and equitable society. It’s a critical time for investors to look around them at the challenges faced in communities and environments and consider how capital can be directed to generate long-term solutions.” Mannion also references data from the GIIN's latest trends analysis report, and provides commentary from panelists about how more needs to be done in order to drive capital in the space to achieve the UN Sustainable Development goals.
