Welcome to a seminar with Mark Sanctuary, exploring the rise of Green Investment Funds (GIFs) and their role in promoting sustainable development, especially within the EU. As GIFs gain momentum, so too does the importance of understanding their actual impact.

In this session, Sanctuary will present a comparative study examining the differences between European GIFs and conventional investment funds. By analysing and visualising data, the study provides a fresh look at whether GIFs live up to their sustainability claims and contribute meaningfully to a sustainable economy.
