Design your own SDG Muni Bond
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals have catalyzed new ideas to drive more capital into achieving impact and are a great framework for measuring results in environmental, social and governance focused investing. At the same time, government-issued municipal bonds, from cities to schools to hospitals to water utilities, can attract impact investors to opportunities for local, place-based and impactful investing. Issuers can lead by being transparent and accountable to their missions.
How can global goals inspire regional action? Join us as we lead a design-thinking inspired workshop and ideate several new innovate fixed-income financial vehicles.
“Municipal Bonds”, design thinking, Impact in Fixed Income, impact investing, Innovative Financial Vehicles, SDGs, Sustainable MBAs and MPAs
