1??. Weekly commentary, “The crying indigence for blended finance” February 2022 week #7
“The accumulation of unsustainable processes in a particular system may destroy the whole ecosystem.”—Yael Rozencwajg
No one can seriously deny the importance of sustainable business practices these days. Even those who are highly concerned with company results and less with the fate of the planet recognize that the viability of the business is now more and more dependent on the resources of healthy ecosystems—rich biodiversity, productive land, freshwater, clean air—as well as the stability of just societies.
The idea of transforming natural ecosystems—towards greater efficiency, resilience, inclusiveness, and sustainability—became the essential conditions for realizing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.?

2??. Next practice platforms—The Framework for Sustainability Conversations, part 7/7
2.1—The Framework for Sustainability Conversations
The Framework for Sustainability Conversations considers different programming intervention levels and models, the upstream enabling environment, and the importance of meaningful interaction with communities to ensure better access to sustainability solutions.
There are six dynamics in moving towards a sustainable enterprise. Please find frameworks details and explanations in the following links:
2.2—Next practice platforms
If energy is our global economy's bloodstream, industries are its metabolism. It consumes raw food (energy, minerals, and hydrocarbons) to transform it into products and substances (steel bars, concrete blocks, wooden beams, glues, paints, fertilizers, rails, roads, cables, trains, cars, smartphones, teaspoons, and kit furniture) that will enable all of our activities (living, moving, eating, having fun, exercising, reading, voting). It also excretes waste, as does all metabolism.
??Network leaders can then listen to the signals, react in time, demonstrate accountability and be confident in their decisions—[Explore the framework here ].

2 年1/3 I am adding here some highlights of my piece--you can get the full version on https://nevelab.substack.com/p/next-practice-platforms It's in 3 parts, and you are welcome to comment: Intro Governments, investors, and consumers are generally in agreement that we must drastically reduce our reliance on fossil fuels as they significantly contribute to global carbon emissions. However, sun, wind, and other renewable energy sources are not yet meeting demand. International consensus has grown around massive infrastructure investments, and most large countries have all planned to boost their economies while hastening the transition to carbon-neutral technologies. But it is critical that we decarbonize our industries without disrupting them. Why: The way the climate transition is managed will impact the future of our economy. Governments must invest in infrastructure to support the energy transition and the efficient implementation of the necessary regulations. Businesses must evolve or change their business models, consumers must continue to adopt more sustainable habits, and investors must finance the transition to a more sustainable economic model.

2 年I was inspired by a post by my friends and colleagues Gillian Marcelle, PhD and Harald Walkate addressing their answer to Larry Fink on talking blended finance: - Their answer: https://www.dhirubhai.net/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6855596096530604032/ - Larry's Opinion piece on The New York Times: https://www-nytimes-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.nytimes.com/2021/10/13/opinion/climate-change-imf-carbon.amp.html I look forward to continuing this important conversation. Thank you,
