A medida que aumentan los desafíos climáticos y de biodiversidad, es urgente desarrollar soluciones financieras innovadoras, sostenibles y equitativas. Este documento presenta dos enfoques clave: el enfoque orientado a misiones y el enfoque de Inversión Pública Global. Juntos, estos enfoques ofrecen una visión en la que los recursos compartidos y la acción colectiva impulsan los objetivos globales.

The Future of Aid: Global Public Investment

A decade ago, in “The Trouble with Aid,” our cofounder Jonathan Glennie warned against aid dependency, advocating for a broader perspective on global finance. His latest book, “The Future of Aid: Global Public Investment,” champions a paradigm shift in how we view concessional funding, especially in the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis. It’s a call for a new era of international cooperation, reimagining it as a powerful tool to unite nations, pool resources, and achieve ambitious global objectives.
