Our Roadmap for Localizing SDGs
Gaia Impact´s investment strategy is based on the Principles for Responsible Investment, a UNEP Finance Initiative with the UN Global Compact.
​
Key to our roadmap for localizing is measuring
"purpose" as rigorously as "profit". Setting clear targets, establishing a Theory of Change, and then measure what matters.
Our model has five components:
​
- Awareness-raising and education
- Advocacy
- Implementation
- Monitoring
- Follow-up and capital exit
