Global Prosperity

Theme Leaders:   Fariborz Moshirian and Elise Payzan

As part of the process of globalisation,  financing, or the lack of financing, for endeavours in the areas of environmental issues including climate finance and ESG, 17 objectives of the UN SDGs by 2030, food security, quality education and health servcies, full employment, financial security,  and technological changes will have direct and indirect impacts on national, regional and global financial stability and global inclusive prosperity. To this end, the IGF has been engaged in global issues that have direct and indirect financial impacts on systemic risk, global financial stability,  and individual and global security.  The IGF has jointly published a book, with the Asian Development Bank, on "Climate Change and Climate Finance: Current Experience and Future Directions" in September 2023. The IGF has published several high impact research works and organised a number of international policy fora that deal with the above issues including climate change and climate finance  and the UN SDGs, in collaboration with the Asian Development Bank, over a number of years. The IGF’s engagement and policy research with eminent researchers and joint work with the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank are part of the overall objectives of providing global leadership in factors that contribute to global inclusive prosperity.
