20/30 Visions
A series in which we ask global thought-leaders: how do we build a more sustainable and inclusive world by 2030?
The world of sustainability and impact has come a long way in the two decades since Bridges launched in 2002. But given the scale of the challenges we face, it's not enough.
If we are to have any hope of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 (the theoretical target) – or getting anywhere close to Net Zero – we need to go much further, much faster.
Our 20/30 Visions series explores what this needs to look like in practice. In each episode, we speak to a different expert or thought-leader from around the globe, and ask them: what needs to change if we want to build a more sustainable and inclusive future in the next decade? And how do we make that change happen?

20/30 Visions: Sir Ronald Cohen on the impact revolution
Our first episode features a legend of the impact movement and one of its greatest change-makers: Sir Ronald Cohen, chair of the Global Steering Group for Impact Investment (and, inter alia, Bridges' founding chair). In our interview, Sir Ronald talks about:
- The importance of bringing impact into financial accounting
- What the Impact-Weighted Accounts Initiative is revealing about 3,000 top companies
- Why he thinks this transparency will change the world
- The opportunity for $1bn+ outcomes funds
- Why governments can (and should) support the development of impact investing
- How the energy crisis is sparking a wave of innovation
- And why this will lead us to a new impact revolution
