A graduate of the Master in Global Environmental Change, Alessandro Faia, is now curating online content about this topic, using scoop.it.

Enjoy.

Maria Tapia, graduate of the Master in Global Environmental Change 2010-2011, works as a consultant at the Inter-American Development Bank on a very exciting new initiative.

beyondBanking: Banking On Global Sustainability seeks to innovate in the financial sector to benefit poor people and the environment.

“By incorporating nonfinancial factors, such as environmental and social, into our analysis of financial factors, the IDB can strengthen strategic planning and, ultimately, the long-term commercial viability of our financial sector clients and partners. This will allow beyondBanking to contribute to the development of Banking of the Future, a new banking system that balances financial and social returns on investments, operates with transparency, expands market coverage and penetration and respects the environment and the communities where it does business.”

Let Maria’s new boss explain it in the next video.

The following video explains more about one of the components of this new program, the futureBankinglab, which is all about innovation.

Congratulations, Maria, with your new job and all the best with this very important work.
