Future of Sustainable Data Alliance
What is FoSDA?
Purpose: There is now global acknowledgement that the climate crisis is a real and immediate threat, climate concerns as well as broader environmental and social considerations need to start moving into mainstream risk assessment and opportunity analysis.
Capital markets are not understanding and integrating material sustainability considerations into their investment
decisions, often resulting in capital being allocated to inefficient and even environmentally or socially damaging
projects and assets.
FoSDA has been formed to address this urgent situation and foster collaboration in the ecosystem.
Mission: Our express purpose is to identify and accelerate the reliable, actionable ESG data and related technology that is needed
for improved investor decision making on the global journey to sustainable development.
The Future of Sustainable Data Alliance is working together and in partnership with the World Economic Forum to answer the question:
What data do investors and governments need to meet the requirements of both regulators, citizens and market demand for sustainable investments and portfolios to 2030?
Goals
FoSDA has the following three goals
ESG Data Requirements
To articulate the future data requirements investors and governments need to accurately integrate ESG data into decision making processes.
Technology and Alternative Data
To highlight new technology and data sets that can support a just transition to sustainable development.
UN SDG Impact Data
