A very interesting new paper from Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment - University of Oxford supported by Climate Compatible Growth #CCG about the challenges of tackling perceived 'impact washing' There's a need to be more consistent and accountable in measuring the impact of investments designed to facilitate societal benefits. But collecting the data for this represents a real burden for the small entrepreneurs using the money to bring positive change. There's a need for an agreed set of measures and more support or alternative approaches to measuring impact at the 'coal face'. Well worth a look as this issue will only get bigger and we can't allow it to compromise the flow of climate finance to where it's most needed. Thanks to George Carew-Jones and Alex Money for this very useful addition to the discussion.

We are delighted to support this valuable work from our colleagues George Carew-Jones and Alex Money at Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment - University of Oxford on one of the most important issues in Climate Change - Finance. Their paper explores the issue of 'Impact Washing' in which the social impact of climate investments is proving difficult to measure and leading to questions over their credibility. There is a need for greater consistency and agreement in the measurements used and also for more data as evidence. However, asking small businesses to collect data is a burden they can't carry so a new approach is needed. Yacob Mulugetta, Partnerships Director & International Engagement Lead for CCG, adds: “CCG benefitted from the engagement with a number of international and Africa-specific impact investors in compiling this research. Through their insights, this paper clearly calls for investors and investees to learn from each other and collaborate to co-design optimal systems of impact measurement. With the CCG Programme now due to run until 2030, we look forward to continuing to work with local policymakers, investors and venture developers to facilitate this dialogue in CCG’s partner countries” https://lnkd.in/e97vndCs
