In 2017, we set out a five-year strategy for how we could contribute to tackling the key development challenges facing Africa and South Asia.
As we come to the end of the strategy period, we reflect on our achievements and lessons we've learnt since ➡️ bit.ly/3lsOH40
And the people who have done least to contribute to the climate crisis will be the people who suffer most from its impact. This is why the #JustTransition is so critical, and why we must do more to support #adaptation and build #resilience.
In his latest blog, our CEO @nickodonohoe reflects on #COP26 and the Glasgow Climate Pact, and assesses how we can deliver on the promises made over the past couple of weeks.

Congratulations to our partner @impmgmt on its remarkable achievements in the past 5 years. In 2015, #impactinvesting was in its infancy. Now, despite some growing pains along the way, the efforts of IMP and its partners have built a strong identity and a well-defined framework.
There is a real need to step up #impactinvestment in businesses contributing to climate change adaptation and resilience across Africa and South Asia, along with small island nations around the world.
