[Issa Faye @IssaIFC]

Join us at the SDG Private Sector Forum in NY to explore how corporations can invest in risky but necessary markets or technologies for the sustainability transition.

I am glad I have been able to participate in the AERC-SOAS Inclusive Financial Services Policy Platform yesterday, particularly providing discussion points during the conversation on how formal institutions can affect financial inclusion. Very insightful discussions...

"Every tonne of CO₂ adds to global warming". Last week's @IPCC_CH report is clear: without immediate action, the impact of #ClimateChange will grow more devastating, especially impacting the most vulnerable populations. The time to act is now.
