I started looking at sea defences within my work in 2017, as I was interested in their varying geometric shapes. These huge man-made shapes protect the land we walk on from the ever-encroaching expanses of sea. They seem so alien and out of place in their natural setting. Tideline, UNICEF, and UNICEF USA worked with diverse stakeholders across the field in the development of the CLIF, working particularly closely with six investor participants via an inaugural Child-Lens Investor Cohort: BlueOrchard Finance Ltd, Calvert Impact , Elevar Equity, Finnfund, Rethink Education, and Save the Children Global Ventures. The CLIF’s launch formally incepts child-lens investing (CLI), defined as an approach to sustainable investing in which investors intentionally consider child-related factors to advance positive child outcomes while minimizing child harm.

Based in the small mid-Wales market town of Machynlleth, Coch-y-Bonddu Books are leading international dealers in new and out-of-print books on the subjects of angling, game shooting, sporting dogs and falconry. Coch-y-Bonddu Books grew out of the interests of owner, Paul Morgan, who issued his first catalogue of second-hand fishing and sporting books in 1982, while he was still working as a water bailiff on the River Dyfi. A series of successful and comprehensive sporting catalogues enabled Paul to take up bookselling full-time in 1990, giving him more time to travel the world in pursuit of rare and interesting books. Charles Smith-Jones' muntjac book. Muntjac: Managing an Alien Species is a great, in-depth, look at the history, ecology, management and stalking of muntjac deer. Then we have our new edition of the classic The English Whippetby Colonel Ted Walsh and Mary Lowe. Global warming and rising sea levels will soon have a devastating impact on our daily lives. Cornwall is one of the UK counties which will be most affected by climate change; cliffs are eroding and flood risks are increasing. The coastal cliffs of North Cornwall are likely to experience 40 metres of erosion in the next century. Climate change is happening now, and we can already see the effects that this is having around the world.

Through exploration of the possibilities of recycled and eco-friendly materials, artists can bring about education. The more people are made to be aware and care, the bigger the demand for change. The bigger the demand for change, the more big companies or governments listen and want to be seen to be doing something.It also introduces the theme of mapping and representation, as well as an aspect of fishing off shore, which connects us to thinking of boundaries both physical and political, and the way these lines are drawn.

We are thrilled to see this work come to life in the Child-Lens Investing Framework, and encourage investors across the field to adopt CLI and invest in the future of children. A long time ago, John Muir (1838 -1914), the Scottish-born American naturalist, and founder of the modern conservation movement observed “When one tugs at a single living thing in nature, one finds it attached to the rest of the world.” Tideline, a specialist consultant for the impact investing industry, today published a how-to guide for investors seeking to define their approach to sustainable investing. The full report, “Truth in Impact: A Tideline Guide to Using the Impact Investment Label,” is available at https://bit.ly/3yiy8Mu.October 1, 2020 — Tideline, a specialist consultant for the impact investing industry, today announced the launch of BlueMark, an independent business providing impact verification services for investors and companies.

In 2018, Richard Long produced a series of screen prints, based on drawings he made from mud taken from the banks of the tidal River Avon in Bristol, where he first played as a child. ‘Even as a kid I was fascinated by the enormous tide, and the mud banks, and the wash of the boats as they swept past… I guess it’s right to say that I have used that experience in my art: like water, the tides, the mud. All that cosmic energy is there in my work.’

This Compass Series discussion is dedicated to the late Suzanne Biegel, a pioneer of gender-lens investing. We owe the success of not just gender-lens investing, but also of all of the impact lenses represented in this Compass Series panel, to her tireless efforts to make finance more inclusive, impactful, and effective. Lisa Jewell has called it ‘Enthralling and Addictive’ and Jenny Quintana (author of ‘The Missing Girl’) ‘A truly compelling story that captures exactly the complexity of friendship and motherhood and how everything we think we know can be challenged in one heartbreaking instant…’With Island, I am taking unusual materials but ones that are linked to everyone’s experience, as they all are familiar with tyres in all their forms of use; and referring to the second use of this product, once worn out, by trawling fishing boats. In this way, I am relocating people’s thinking to the water and sea bed off our shores. Shaping this island (GB) with these materials reconnects us to the land mass under our feet, and its connection to the land under the sea surrounding us. There are obvious climate change issues which will impact people on every island, and global fishing practices which are destructive, wasteful and harm ecosystems such as coral reefs, as well as entire communities and island nations. Factory and fishing are two words that should never have been put together.
