Financial Inclusion - The Next Chapter With an estimated 2.5 billion people worldwide lacking bank accounts and access to credit, and effectively excluded from achieving their full personal and economic potential, the issue of financial inclusion has gained new urgency amongst governments worldwide. The call to action was reflected in the recent G20 Communiqué pledging new initiatives and institutions to support the objective of financial inclusion for all.

Global Food Security - Can we Feed and Save the Planet? The global food supply chain is in turmoil. The structural problems which caused a spike in food prices last year are still in place, and point to the potential for further volatility and food shortages in the future. A radical rethink is required to the way the global food supply is organised and financed. Any proposed solutions, however, need to take account of the significant impact of agriculture on climate change, and be vigilant to the working conditions amongst producers to avoid the worst excesses which have plagued some sectors of the commodity supply chain in the past.

Matching Private Finance to the Needs of Low-Carbon Growth in Emerging Markets Helping developing countries shift to low-carbon growth - and financing that shift - requires public policies, public investment and private investment. The level of investment required has been estimated at approximately $500bn annually. Public money can only go far, and the capital markets in particular have a significant role to play - through leveraging and the trillions of dollars held in pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments and asset management to supplement scarce government funds and credit.
