Investment in emerging economies is on the rise, following an increasing awareness of the improving business climate in these countries as well as burgeoning, high-growth green sectors. These were the thoughts of participants in a recent session on investment opportunities in emerging markets hosted by WRI's Enterprise and Innovation Program.

The discussion took place on November 9-10 at the Triple Bottom Line Investing (TBLI) Paris Conference, which convened 400 members of the socially-responsible investment (SRI) community to discuss the state and future of the SRI world. Luiz Maia of Rio Bravo Investimentos in Brazil, Pramod Shedde of BTS Investment Advisors Pvt., India and Michael Feldner of InSpire, South Africa were the featured speakers, representing three of the most important economies to watch in coming years. They drew on their experience as fund managers to analyze recent trends in developing country and sustainable investment.
