Impact investment’s role in the fight against climate change

In this Private Equity International article, Amy Carroll explores impact investment’s role in the fight against climate change. Amit Bouri, CEO and Co-Founder of the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) is quoted in the article adding that, “A systemic problem requires a systemic solution. The climate crisis clearly requires far more than a purely impact investment approach. It will require a shift in government policy, corporate behaviour and personal consumption, things that lie beyond impact investors’ sphere of influence. It is important both that impact investors see themselves as part of a broader systemic effort and that other actors recognise the role that impact investors are playing in the overall solution.”
