Sustainable Development Conference (IFSD)

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

 

There is less than one month to register for the 2014 Innovative Finance for Sustainable Development Conference (IFSD), taking place at the National Library in Singapore on 11 and 12 November.

Climate and development projects need more funding. The IFSD Conference, co-hosted with The Gold Standard Foundation, will assemble a collective group of leaders to address this challenge, discussing how innovative financing mechanisms, such as results-based finance, can be used to effectively fund sustainable development projects. The conference will also explore how to value and measure economic, social and environmental benefits that go beyond emission reductions.

This interactive conference is essential for forward thinking funders, project developers, non-profits and the private sector that want to fund or develop projects that will address climate change and alleviate poverty.

 

Here are just a few reasons to attend the IFSD Conference:

·         An opportunity for funders and investors to gain knowledge on the latest results-based approaches

·         Networking between funders and projects developers to explore collaboration 

·         Learn about the latest initiatives and technologies used to measure project co-benefits

·         Corporates can learn how to use results-based approaches to engage their customers, employees, and other stakeholders in their sustainability and CSR initiatives
