Prof. David Wood, Harvard Kennedy School, on Economic Inequality

David Wood describes the evolution of responsible investment - its
approaches and institutions like the United Nations-supported
Principles for Responsible Investment - over the last decade. Wood
also explains why the need for a framework to economic inequality
is essential in understanding the systemic risks it represents for
society at large. How have the UN's Sustainable Development Goals
dimensionalised inequality, enabling a better understanding for
investors? How can we reconcile the rise of populism in the United
States with the policies under the Trump administration that would
appear to exacerbate economic inequality? For more information
