  • Mariana Mazzucato | Founding Director and Professor in the Economics of Innovation and Public Value at UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose.
  • Jonathan Glennie | Director at Global Cooperation Institute, Cofounder of Global Nation and author of “The Future of Aid: Global Public Investment”.

Abstract:

As global climate and biodiversity challenges intensify, the need for innovative, sustainable, and equitable financing solutions has never been greater. This paper presents two major new approaches with a view to unblocking sustainable finance for climate & biodiversity objectives – namely the Mission-oriented approach being developed by the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP) and the Global Public Investment (GPI) approach being developed by several experts and organizations as part of the GPI Network. Global Public Investment for Global Missions offers a compelling vision for a future where collective efforts and shared resources drive progress on common goals.
