Impact investing works in many important areas
- Clean energy is a big focus: Money is put into things like solar and wind power. These projects make clean energy and help cut down pollution and carbon in the air. Investors can also earn money while helping the planet.
- Farming can be made better and greener: Impact investing helps farmers use better, earth-friendly ways to grow food. It can support small farmers to earn more and protect the land for the future.
- Good homes for everyone: Money can help build safe and affordable houses for people who don’t have good places to live. This helps families live better and healthier lives.
Impact investing also helps people get better care and support
- Better healthcare for all: It can fund clinics or services that reach people who don’t have good doctors nearby. This is very helpful in poor or far-off places.
- Education for everyone: It supports schools, training, and tools so that more people can learn new skills and get good jobs. This helps communities grow stronger.
- Making money services open to all: It helps people get banks and small loans who couldn’t get them before. This helps small businesses grow and people save for the future.
