#NetZero Transition with Dr. Avinash Persaud: Rethinking #ClimateFinance and #EmbracingInclusive #Sustainable Solutions Dr. Avinash Persaud is an authority on Climate Finance with expertise in finance, policy, and academia. Formerly at GAM, State Street, J.P. Morgan, and UBS, he advises governments on financial policy. He chaired the UN and Warwick Commissions on financial reform, was a visiting scholar to the IMF and the European Central Bank, and is a speaker at several G20 convenings across the world. We recently engaged in a pivotal discussion on fast-tracking our transition to net-zero emissions, focusing on inclusivity. We explored innovative financial mechanisms to support fossil fuel-reliant regions and the key milestones towards Net Zero. Corporates' role in fostering an inclusive, climate-conscious future stood out prominently. Dr. Avinash Persaud emphasised a reimagined, ambitious, yet pragmatic finance system. With the global south's $2.4 trillion annual requirement for sustainable growth, he deconstructed the solution into three categories: 1️⃣ Primary Bucket: Projects like solar farms that generate revenue. The need? Amplifying private sector investments in developing countries. 2️⃣ Secondary Bucket: Initiatives, such as flood defences, that yield future savings. He urged MDBs to prioritise lending to climate-sensitive nations. 3️⃣ Tertiary Bucket: Addressing post-climatic event damages, demanding augmented grant funds, and innovative emission-centric taxes. We are grateful for Dr. Persaud's insights, which emphasises the collective effort required to preserve our planet. Meera Harish | Shrutee Ganguly #ClimateFinance #NetZeroFuture 🌍

New @ Sattva! | Since the inception of the CSR mandate in 2014, over 30,000 companies have injected ₹1.84 lakh crores into India's #development sector. #Education and #Healthcare have consistently remained a top priority over the last 10 years, consitituting to 50% of the total CSR funds between 2014 and 2023. In FY22-23, 3/4th of the total #CSR spend was spread across the top 6 sectors. Education increased by over 50% after experiencing a dip the previous financial year, while funding towards Conservation of Natural Resources and Livelihood Enhancement Projects almost doubled. Healthcare, however, saw a decline this year.

"This trend of unspent CSR funds may signal an important shift in the CSR landscape. With recent regulatory amendments allowing the transfer of unspent funds to 'ongoing' projects and the carryover of funds for up to three years, companies are strategically rethinking their approach." "Many corporates are now prioritizing larger, long-term programs that promise more sustainable and lasting impact." Read this feature in ThePrint, which looks at the changing attitude towards Corporate Social Responsibility and other key trends from our report, The State of CSR in India (2013-24): https://bit.ly/4eFLQy8 #CSR #CSRtrends #corporatephilanthropy #impactassesment #ESG #compliance #TheStateofCSR2023

India's social sector has seen a significant increase in capital flow, growing at an annual rate of 13% and reaching an impressive ₹23 lakh crore in FY 2023. According to the India Philanthropy Report by Bain & Company and Dasra, private philanthropy surged by 10%, amounting to ₹1.2 lakh crore. In our recently published report "The State of CSR in India 2014-23" (Read it here: https://lnkd.in/gTmR9nVy), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funding emerged as a critical pillar of this growth. In FY 2022-23, #CSR expenditure reached around INR 30,000 crores — a 13% increase from the previous year, with more than half of the companies spending beyond the mandated amount. With this abundance of available capital, #nonprofits have tremendous potential to enhance their impact through strategic fundraising efforts. Meet us at #ICES2024 from October 17-18 to explore how non-profits can leverage data and strategic partnerships to maximise their #fundraising efforts. Arun Nathan and Santosh Abraham will also be attending from 16-18 October to connect and explore opportunities for collaboration. Visit indiacsrsummit.in/ to register.
