Panel 2 - Better Finance: A Quest for New Value
Achieving the Global Sustainability Development Goals can unlock trillions of dollars in economic value for the private sector. Much of these gains can be found within market opportunities in developing countries, in sectors such as food and agriculture, energy and materials, healthcare and infrastructure. Tackling the social and environmental challenges in these areas can go a long way towards creating a better future, by helping communities to reduce waste, save on energy, gain access to affordable housing, cultivate human capital, and live longer, healthier lives. Companies that tap into these and other openings also stand to improve their own long-term prospects and outperform competitors.
