To finance system change, investors need sound science, tools and practices to gear investments towards the long term and create resilient portfolios.
This short extract from a concept note for the Deep Transitions Lab sets out why experimentation is integral to the ethos of the Lab, and outlines four different types of experiments:
- Type 1: Analysing the transformative potential of new investments
- Type 2: Monitoring the transformative impact of existing investments
- Type 3: Assessing the transformative potential of portfolios
- Type 4: Constructing a transformative investment bundle
Read more about transformative bundles – the fourth type of experiment, which brings together private and public actors – by visiting Introducing transformative bundles and Case study: Transformative bundles in Catalonia.
