The course will also explore project evaluation for ESG initiatives, allowing students to better understand which offer the best opportunities for investment while creating the greatest impact. Familiarity with these concepts and background in Economics or Finance are required. Primary learning objectives are:
1. Knowledge of how investing in financial markets works and where ESG investments fit into these existing markets
2. An understanding of how existing financial systems can be reordered to deliver funding for projects that create positive environmental and social impacts
3. How to better assess and screen ESG projects based on their merits rather than their claims.
4. Overall competencies in systems thinking, managing complexity, project evaluation and assessment
