  🔥 What if the smartest climate investment is the one that keeps schools open? 📚Grace Waters argues that climate-ready school infrastructure is one of the most overlooked opportunities for long-term financial and social returns. Instead of pouring capital into post-disaster recovery, resilient buildings can prevent closures, protect student health, and save millions in community costs.From energy-efficient upgrades to green architecture and local contractor engagement, the case is clear. Preparedness pays off. And schools may be the most powerful place to start.Is disaster-resilient education the next big frontier for impact investors?🔗 Read the full article on Impact Entrepreneur:https://lnkd.in/diUBBXZZ....#ImpactEntrepreneur#ClimateResilience#ResilientSchools#SustainableInfrastructure#ImpactInvesting#EducationInnovation#GreenBuildings#ClimateAdaptation#CommunityResilience#EnergyEfficiency#DisasterPreparedness#SocialImpact#FutureOfEducation#InclusiveGrowth#SustainableDevelopment#ClimateReadyCommunities#ImpactEconomy

  How do you build impact markets in places where roads are scarce and producers work miles apart across mountain valleys? 🌄Gabish Joshi shows how yak cheese makers and wild honey harvesters in Nepal are shifting from extraction to regeneration through something often overlooked: skills, networks, and trust.During a six-day workshop in Kathmandu,Ennovent Nepal helped high-mountain producers strengthen business skills, adopt sustainable practices, and see themselves as entrepreneurs shaping their own futures. The result is the early foundation of trust-based, regenerative value chains in some of the world’s most remote regions. 🌱How can invisible infrastructure transform other rural economies?Read the full story at Impact Entrepreneur:https://lnkd.in/dm5Y5Upx....#ImpactEntrepreneur#RuralEconomies#RegenerativeDevelopment#SustainableLivelihoods#CommunityEntrepreneurs#NepalImpact#MountainEconomies#InclusiveMarkets#ImpactFinance#LocalValueChains#CapacityBuilding#SocialInnovation#YakCheese#WildHoney#EntrepreneurshipForGood#GlobalDevelopment#ImpactEcosystems

  What happens when digital systems overlook the people they’re meant to serve?Across the Global South, welfare, banking, and healthcare now run on data. But without justice-by-design, these systems can deepen inequality instead of reducing it. From Brazil’s social protection platforms to Kenya’s biometric IDs, the risks are clear: exclusion, misrepresentation, and opaque algorithms shaping real lives.This piece explores why data justice matters now — and how communities, governments, and innovators can build digital systems grounded in equity, dignity, and participation.How can justice-by-design become the new baseline for digital transformation?Read the full article byAntara Choudhury andBatul Shahira Shafi on Impact Entrepreneur:https://lnkd.in/gf7FeDTf....#ImpactEntrepreneur#DataJustice#GlobalSouth#DigitalRights#Inclusion#JusticeByDesign#TechForGood#EthicalTech#SocialProtection#DigitalGovernance#EquitableTech#HumanCenteredDesign#CommunityDrivenTech#SouthSouthCooperation

  What changes when village entrepreneurs finally access real financial tools?Across Africa, Asia, and the Americas,TCP Global and local Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) are helping small entrepreneurs move from survival to self reliance.

  🔥🧑🚒 How can technology strengthen the people who protect Brazil’s forests every day?Indigenous firefighting teams across Brazil are using drones to monitor risks, map hotspots, and prevent wildfires before they spread. This new model emerges from the Bunge Foundation’s approach that aligns policy, science, and Indigenous leadership while placing practical tools directly in community hands.The initiative supports teams across the Pantanal, Cerrado, and Amazon regions and includes drone training, mobile situation rooms, and real time monitoring developed with Ibama’s PrevFogo. It is a shift from crisis response to prevention, powered by Indigenous knowledge and modern geotechnology working side by side.What can other regions learn from this model as climate risks intensify?Read the full article by Susan Chaffin on Impact Entrepreneur 🔗https://lnkd.in/dSyZ_Ku3....#ImpactEntrepreneur#WildfirePrevention#Brazil#IndigenousCommunities#ClimateAction#LifeOnLand#SustainableDevelopment#FireManagement#EcosystemRestoration#EnvironmentalLeadership#DroneTechnology#ForestProtection#ClimateResilience#CommunityLed#IntegratedFireManagement#Cerrado#Pantanal#Amazon

  What happens when a tool designed to guide sustainable investing starts reinforcing the very system it was meant to change? 🌱In their latest piece,Garvin Jabusch andErika Karp explain how ESG has shifted from a decision-making aid to a framework that often rewards outdated and extractive models. They describe why backward-looking metrics fall short and how the Next Economy framework redirects attention to enterprises aligned with scientific reality and long-term resilience.Their work asks a critical question: if capital is still anchored to the old economy, how can true progress take shape? 💡Read more on Impact Entrepreneur:https://lnkd.in/dajJ-x9d....#ImpactEntrepreneur#ImpactEconomy#SustainableInvesting#NextEconomy#ESG#SystemsChange#RegenerativeEconomy#ClimateFinance#ResponsibleInvesting#FutureOfFinance#PlanetaryBoundaries#InnovationEconomy#Sustainability#GreenEconomy#LongTermThinking#InvestingForChange

  Have you ever wondered where the idea of “developed” and “developing” really came from?In their latest piece,Ainurul Rosli andFarah Al Taji explore how a single declaration in 1949 shaped global policy for decades. They follow this thread through Jordan and Malaysia, showing how language continues to influence power, funding, and the way progress is defined.Their story highlights a contrast. Jordan faces the limits of aid dependence and external models that guide how communities should grow. Malaysia shows how global ideas can be translated through local ethics like zakat, waqf, and gotong royong. Together, they offer a reminder that progress is not a category. It begins with listening and with the systems that communities already trust.What would development look like if every country defined progress in its own terms?Read more on Impact Entrepreneur:https://lnkd.in/d3a9A5jM....#Development#GlobalSouth#Jordan#Malaysia#SocialFinance#CommunityEconomies#LocalKnowledge#Sovereignty#SocialInnovation#EthicalFinance#MutualAid#GotongRoyong#Zakat#Waqf#ImpactEntrepreneur#NextEconomy#EconomicHistory#RethinkingAid
