Sustainability by improving livelihoods in rural areas

Join us for a virtual panel discussion investigating how social and impact investing can support sustainable improvements to rural living. 

Improvements to rural life in developing countries are vital if poverty and hunger are to be reduced. And how we make these improvements will have an impact on our ability to meet global environmental and climate protection goals. 

Our expert panel will share their experiences in impact investing and social investing, infrastructure development and multifaceted economic activity in rural areas. They will shed light on which developments will be particularly crucial for achieving important UN sustainability goals.
