LONDON – The Impact Taskforce (ITF), an independent, industry-led taskforce supported by the G7 Presidency, has called on the G7 to take urgent action to mobilise more institutional capital for a just and inclusive transition to net zero.

The recommendations were released in the ITF’s report entitled Time to deliver: Mobilising private capital at scale for people and the planet.

The G7 Impact Taskforce was set up to answer two key questions “How can we accelerate the volume and effectiveness of private capital seeking to have a positive social and environmental impact?” and “How do we make sure this mobilisation has a real impact and does not leave people and places behind?”

In parallel iRAP is working closely with the World Bank, International Finance Corporate (IFC), Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), European Investment Bank (EIB) and other development partners to unlock the win-win benefits of safer roads worldwide.
