Later this week at the #GIINForum2024, The Global Impact Investing Network will publish our latest estimate of the impact investing market size. I recently published my reflections on how far the market has come, and where we need to go in the Financial Times. The growth of the impact investing market is incredible and energizing, and it is the result of a lot of hard work. I also think we need to set our sights even higher, because I define the scale of our ambitions by the scale of the world’s problems. We have a lot more work to do to secure our future. I'm excited to be together with many of the world's leading impact investors later this week in Amsterdam. You can find the full piece: https://lnkd.in/eMBRew96. In addition to reflecting on the market's growth, I have the opportunity to acknowledge some of the partners - The Rockefeller Foundation, B Lab, Acumen, IFC - International Finance Corporation - who helped build core infrastructure like IRIS+ and the Impact Principles that will set the stage for future growth with integrity. #ImpactInvesting #SDGs #ClimateAction

"Place-based impact investing is a powerful approach to addressing the complex vulnerabilities of the Philadelphia region. It acknowledges the need for targeted and community-specific solutions. Place-based impact investors collaborate with local organizations, residents, and institutions to inject capital into enterprises that drive sustainable development, economic empowerment, and social justice. By intentionally investing in the region’s communities, place-based impact investments can help transform challenges into stepping stones towards a brighter future for the region, both financially and for the well-being of its people." -- Dermot Murphy, for OptImpact https://lnkd.in/eEE69UE6
