Framing
This section provides context for the event to ensure all participants, regardless of prior knowledge, are equipped to engage with the discussion.
The Dutch NAB’s “On the Way to 10% for Impact” highlights both the promise and challenge of mobilising institutional capital for positive real-world outcomes. It shows that capital can move, but also raises harder questions: is 10% a minimum or a limit, and is capital reaching the areas where additional impact is greatest? With around CHF 1.2 trillion in pension assets, Switzerland has major untapped potential to support climate transition, resilience, nature and social wellbeing. This session explores how a credible Swiss roadmap could help accelerate impact investing among institutional investors, especially pension funds.
