Claudia Segre is the driving force behind the Global Thinking Foundation. Her story as to how Global Thinking Foundation was started, funded and its purpose is absolutely brilliant and inspiring Global Thinking Foundation is among the most active foundations in the organization of citizenship events and socially useful projects on the national and international scene. They promote initiatives related to the quality of education (Goal 4), gender equality and the prevention of violence and economic abuse (Goal 5) and the promotion of decent work and sustainable economic growth (Goal 8).

Their goal: to be a resource for the social promotion, culture and enhancement of women’s work, scientific research, education and health.

The current chasm between the rhetoric of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the capital available for development leads to why a new financial paradigm is now needed.

UNCTAD projects that we are now 20% below where we started in 2015 - ergo we have spent 3.2 trillion to have gone backwards.

The context cannot be ignored: the twin pillars of demographics – ageing populations in the West/China with substantive unfunded liabilities in health and pensions on the one hand and the pincer of youth populations in the developing world on the other hand – exacerbate instability.

The existential threats of world resource usage now estimated by the World Resources Institute at 1.7 times the planet’s ability to replenish. Arthur Wood is leading authority on New Financial paradigm that addresses UNSDGS.

Italian impact investing market. The country provides a unique vantage point on the real potential of impact investing in the post-COVID covid. The European Union has invested its largest stake in the recovery of the country. Italy has turned into the poster child of the European green transition and a playground for the new geopolitics. Furthermore, 2021 is a special year: Draghi at the head of a collation gov, and Italy hosting the G20 for the first time. Naturally, every major corporation has made commitments to join the green transition and contribute to the economic and social recovery. The ability to cooperate within this roadmap represents the true challenge to win for public institutions and private corporations together. TBLI Talk: Knowledge that Inspires
