Meeting the transition challenges in the EBRD region will require mobilisation of large scale capital from multiple sources: development finance institutions are part of the picture, but the private sector – institutional investors and asset managers, commercial banks and family offices, and philanthropic capital – has a big role to play.
Impact investing – investing with the intention to generate a measurable social and environmental impact alongside a market-based financial return – is a growing field, with more actors and more capital deployed each year. It is one of the many ways development actors and private capital together can help countries address their Sustainable Development Goals and Paris climate commitments.
This panel explored ways in which international financial institutions like EBRD can partner with private capital in innovative ways to invest for and with impact. It will set the stage to explore winning strategies by companies, investors and development finance institutions to further the transition to well-functioning, sustainable market economies.

Honoring Elizabeth S. Randolph
"In an emotional ceremony, the location’s original meeting room was rededicated as the Elizabeth S. Randolph Community Room, to honor the vocal advocate for schools and former member of the Library’s Board of Trustees. As the first African American woman promoted to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools’ central offices, Elizabeth “Libby” Randolph helped guide the district through a turbulent period of desegregation in the 1960’s. Her service on the Library board included planning the 1989 addition to Main Library, and in 1993 she and other leaders in the African-American community played a decisive role in the construction of the Beatties Ford Road branch, which opened in 1997 and was expanded to become a regional library in 2011."

This office building, designed by us for us, serves two functions; a pleasant working environment for a maximum staff of 30 and a real example of the firm's abilities and design approach.
The first floor contains the reception area, two partner offices, conference room, staff offices, and print room. The second floor has two partner offices, conference area and an open office environment where the majority of staff sit.
Located in an older residential area, the site was selected for its proximity to the city center and views into the pleasing neighborhood and tree bordered streets. The lot fronts a busy thoroughfare, which is close the light rail and freeways.
The mounding of the building raises the view level from the lower floor above the traffic on the street, and provides a transition for the building from the parking and sidewalk levels. Parking is located behind the building and is slightly recessed to minimize its impact on the surrounding neighborhood.
The office has matured beautifully over the years. The community organization presented us with an award for the building's outstanding contribution to the neighborhood appearance.

The former State Government offices building in Ballarat's Camp Street was designed by Chief Government Architect Percy Everett (1888 - 1967) and opened in 1941 to house the local state government offices and courthouse. A commemorative plaque announcing that building was opened by the then Premier of Victoria, the Honourable A. A. Dunstan M. L.A. appears to the right of the main entranceway. Created of clinker brick and concrete in Art Deco style, it is remarkably similar in design to the Russell Street Police Station in Melbourne (also designed by Percy Everett), and a good example of the era. It features Functionalist Moderne windows and doors, hexagonal Art Deco lamps and very stripped back detailing. The main entranceway is crowned by Dieu et Mon Droit emblem on the King George VI which is painted and gilt.
It's curious that this beautiful building sits in Camp Street given its contrasting architectural style to the otherwise Victorian-influenced street. The building faces Sturt Street rather than Camp Street, and has been beautifully maintained.
The State Government Offices are now located in Mair Street, and the city's court house has moved to the corner of Albert and Dana Streets. This building is now part of the University of Ballarat's Arts Academy.
Percy Everett is also known for having designed Heatherton hospital (1945), the Fairfield Golf Clubhouse (1934),
Essendon Technical School (1939), the State Accident Insurance Office in Melbourne (1941), the William Angliss Food Trades in Melbourne(1941), the Russel Street Police Headquarters in Melbourne (1942–1943), F.G.Scholes Block (Wards) Fa Hospital in Fairfield(1949) and the RMIT Building 5&9 in Melbourne(1938).

One of a series of photographs taken of the old and new Post Offices in Belleville, Ontario, on the day the old one closed. The new Federal Building housed the new Post Office at the southeast corner of Pinnacle and Station Streets.
There are many EU flags in front of the European Commission building in Brussels. The building is huuuuge. I wonder how many offices are in it.
"They are one of the most unpleasant races in the galaxy - not actually evil, but bad tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous. They wouldn't even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal without an order, signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public enquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters. If you want to get a lift from a Vogon, forget it. They are vile and ill tempered. If you want to get a drink from a Vogon, stick your finger down his throat. If you want to annoy a Vogon, feed his grandmother to the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal."

O local onde mais acesso a internet é no meu quarto, onde fica o computador. Quando estou em casa, esse é o local onde passo a maior parte do tempo, pois é mais tranquilo para fazer as coisas que quero/preciso. Além do PC em si, também tenho um Notebook, que uso para acessar a internet em outros ambientes da casa, para assistir filmes e seriados (porque a tela é maior), ou quando minha irmã também quer usar o computador (o que resolveu o problema de ter que compartilhar o mesmo aparelho). Não costumo comer nem beber nada enquanto estou no computador, no máximo uma água, mas às vezes acontece quando estou fazendo alguma coisa muito importante e não tenho tempo de parar para ir comer alguma coisa no lugar apropriado. Geralmente, quando não estou fazendo trabalhos acadêmicos, eu uso o computador para baixar e assistir filmes e seriados, assistir algo na internet, ler notícias. Acesso a internet todos os dias, mas costumo passar mais tempo durante o fim de semana, onde o computador passa praticamente o dia todo ligado. E ah, além dos dois computadores, também tenho no meu quarto uma televisão pequena, mas raramente assisto alguma coisa nela.
