As we see that every sector is trying
to follow a sustainable pathway, so it is important that our financial sector should
work in that domain too. Though there are numerous organizations such as GCF, GEF,
Foresight Group, Octopus Investors etc. who are providing
funds for environment, climate and sustainable development as well as WWF, SDSN
and many others are also known which provide small grants for sustainable
projects. Still, we need more attention towards sustainable funding.
Recently, we have seen a trend that
investors are more interested to invest in green and sustainable projects
rather than in those whose sole purpose is to make fiscal profits. This has
altered the working style of several small and large setups to work sustainably
in their very area to become well reputed in the international community.
But why the investors are looking for
sustainable projects? Why is it needed to invest in green initiatives? What
investment in planet mean?
The investors are looking for
sustainable projects because the earth is facing the largest crisis of all time
in terms of mass extinction, climate disaster etc., so they need to invest in
something that can prove to be a sustainable project.
Investment in planet means to fund
such initiatives, businesses, projects which provide no harm to the planet and
the people. It means to grant funds to such projects which are economically
viable, environmentally safe, and socially acceptable.
This is the instant to bring the revolution—
the business climate, the political climate, and how we act on climate. Today
is the time for the irresistible bravery to reserve and guard our health, our
families, our livelihoods.
Together, we must Invest In Our Planet, as a
green future is a prosperous future.
A bold action, a broad innovation and
an equitable implementation is the need. A partnership with planet is required
to be made by the governments, businesses, and citizens.
Though the climate crisis is here but
we can make the difference. We can still pick a prosperous and sustainable
future, and time to refurbish nature and shape a healthy planet for our
children and their children, but time is short.
