Interesting discussion re investment decisions being made by humans versus aLgORiThmS - wouldn't the latter be less influenced by cognitive biases? #GRASFI2019

Crucial question/comment from the floor - where is the evidence for impact "on the ground" from ESG and impact investing? Also need evidence on link between ESG and financial performance #GRASFI2019

Are we deluding ourselves into thinking green/sustainable finance is doing more good than it actually is? @NVJRobins1 called this "green wishing" (cf green washing) #GRASFI2019

Lots of discussion about all the research needs for the emerging #sustainablefinance field, though little concerning that its all being framed so far as projects for new PhD students ...let's try to think broader #academicpyramidscheme #GRASFI2019

The perennial problem of how the "two communities" can better interact #GRASFI2019 Shameless plug - I have some ideas here for ECRs blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocial…

#GRASFI2019 Research question(s) from my end: how can the #conservation & #agricultural sectors adapt to harness the (apparently) large amounts of capital that sustainability-minded investors are (apparently) seeking to invest?
