The Global Handbook of Impact Investing is a comprehensive guide on how governments, international finance institutions, donors, investors, and non-profits worldwide are solving global problems with measurable results in both developed and developing economies.

Some methods that this book touches on are pioneering and scaling higher-impact portfolios of stocks, bonds, venture capital, private equity, real estate, donations, public policy instruments and evaluating impact for a more sustainable and greener society.
