Efforts to address climate change and meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 are underfunded by a staggering USD $5-7
trillion annually, according to Bloomberg. Given this seismic funding gap, critical priorities represented by the SDGs are not likely to be addressed
by governments alone. Leveraging the power of capital markets will be key. Given projections that ESG investor demand is expected to continue
growing rapidly — to USD $53 trillion by 2025 — the question is: How can ESG investments specifically advance progress toward the SDGs — and
how can global corporations and financial institutions play a key role?
