World leaders and leading scientific panels such as the IPCC are calling for tremendous investments to achieve a 1,5-degree scenario as defined in the Paris Agreement. However, simply investing ‘more’ will not be sufficient. Instead, we must radically change how we invest to tackle the polycrisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and growing inequality.
To respond to this challenge, Johan Schot set up the Global Investors Panel, a cohort of 16 trendsetting public and private investors from all over the world. Over the course of 2 years, the Investors Panel collaborated with the Deep Transitions research team to develop new principles, tools and metrics for financing long-term system change and the transition towards sustainability, or what we call: transformative investment.
