Rosemary Addis, Mondiale Impact - Cascading, compounding and aggregating

"Cascading, compounding and aggregating" - I caught up with Rosemary Addis at the close of the recent Impact Investment Summit Asia Pacific, and in this episode we begin by talking about the last two years since we met in person, science, intersectionality, COVID and climate impacts, the latest IPCC report, our slip backwards in poverty and education and the impact this has on our ability to achieve the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. 

This is paralled with seeing a profound sense of the importance of human connection and shifts in peoples search for meaning and their investing choices.  We also touch on findings by the World Health Organization, supply chains, the unequal impact of natural disasters on women, the link between geography and inequality, and put a call out to people running organisations as to how they can get things back on track, and bring about equally cascading, compounding and aggregating positive change.

We talk through David Ritter, CEO of Greenpeace Australia Pacific's recent call to action around lobbying Government, and then move into a series of reflections by Rosemary;

Are you sacrificing being directionally correct for being precise?  And could you end up pricesely wrong?  What should we be focusing on?  Do we have the systems now to move with confidence?  What does Rosemary mean by "it's not about measurement - it's about management" ? 

We also look at the new Impact Measurement and Mangement for the SDGs course which you can signup for here - https://bit.ly/impactforSDGs
