Long-term Thinking is Critical to Sustainable Finance

It’s a picture that was mirrored at our summit where speakers highlighted that, with 2023 marking the midway point for the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), globally we are way off track in meeting those targets.

While tariffs and global trade tensions pose more immediate structural challenges, I’m convinced that the rationale and long-term trajectory for sustainable finance remains highly positive.

Sustainable finance and widespread change are hard. But that doesn’t mean we should shy away from the challenge. By adopting a long-term mindset we, as IFCs, can collectively help global sustainability objectives stay on track.
