Sustainable Investing in Emerging Markets Summit

 Private capital, particularly in emerging markets, has a critical role to play in ensuring successful delivery of the SDGs, and financial and strategic investors around the world increasingly recognize the potential to generate attractive financial returns by driving social and economic change at scale and speed.
