$7.1 Trillion.

This is the cumulative non-government investment in the transition economy since 2007.  Categories of investment include renewable energy, water & green infrastructure, and sustainable fintech like crowdfunding.

Is this a nearly impossible thing to quantify?  Of course. Could we quibble about methodology until the cows come home?  Sure.  Yet is this accounting a worthy endeavor?  Certainly!  Should we all be paying more attention to any arena of this size and with this pace of development? As my middle school self would say, a-duh! 

We offer huge gratitude and admiration to the indomitable Hazel Henderson, Rosalinda Sanquiche, and Timothy Nash at Ethical Markets for taking on this mammoth project, the Green Transition Scorecard.
