Briefly

Science for the Planet: Financing Sustainable Development
""When most people think about sustainable investment, they think about individual corporate pledges or net-zero commitments," says Sachs."
""But in practice, they are both impractical and inadequate in the absence of a more coherent framework for sectoral transformations.""
""Real progress requires collaborative investment planning, whether to decarbonize industry or transform food systems.""
""CCSI supports this work through evidence-based research that drives practical solutions and coordinated regional and sectoral transitions.""
Lisa Sachs directs the Center on Sustainable Investment at Columbia Climate School and specializes in how public and private investment can advance environmental, social and economic goals. Her team helps governments, policymakers and the financial sector design policies and practices to increase investments in sustainable development, especially in developing countries. Sachs notes that individual corporate pledges and net-zero commitments are impractical and inadequate without a coherent framework for sectoral transformations. Real progress requires collaborative investment planning to decarbonize industry and transform food systems. CCSI advances these aims through evidence-based research that yields practical solutions and coordinated regional and sectoral transitions.
