Deep Transitions in the media

Voor maatschappelijke verandering zijn vaak grote investeringen nodig. Denk aan de investeringen die nodig zijn om de klimaatcrisis aan te gaan. De zonnepaneelrevolutie had niet plaats kunnen vinden zonder private investeringen in de ontwikkeling van zonnepanelen en het net, maar ook overheidssubsidies voor particulieren en bedrijven zijn belangrijk geweest.

How does the world look in 2050? This is the question Johan Schot asks through the Deep Transitions project. As a member of the Global Investor’s Panel, Baillie Gifford has enjoyed contributing to Schot’s work, which seeks to understand how unsustainable systems emerged in the past, and how they can be unmade for a more sustainable future.

Impact investing is putting private capital to work in support of the transition to a fairer and more sustainable society. But profound system change is needed to achieve this and new strategies are required

Johan Schot describes himself as a time traveller. The Dutch academic studies the past to understand the nature of radical change. He then applies this theory to the future, imagining more sustainable living and how to make it happen. That includes the roles investors might play.
