Reaction Think Tank
What we believe
We are reframing the urgency of climate action
Green Inflation:
A new measure for climate change
The urgency of preventing environmental catastrophe is a hot topic, but the vagueness of its imminence and scope weakens the motivation to solve the planet’s environmental issues now. “Soon” is not a convincing deadline. To convey the urgency more effectively, the cost of delay should be expressed as the time value of money. We call this concept “Green Inflation.”
We are creating incentives for capital to do good
Impact currency:
Mobilize funds to save the planet
How to incentivize dramatically more impact investing to save the planet? By creating a new concept in dollars, the language that those with money understand best, to measure their contributions to all forms of good (“Impact Currency”), as part of the marquee Forbes billionaires ranking. And we did it!
We are prioritizing health
The health footprint: How our products affect people’s health and happiness
We hear we need to decrease our carbon footprint or digital footprint. A “Health Footprint” should be recognized as a new important topic: the effect of a company or industry on human health.
Healthcare investing:
Opportunities for new value
Pandemics transform healthcare. Reaction believes this is an opportunity for a paradigm shift in the way that we perceive, understand, and invest toward a more sustainable and resilient healthcare ecosystem. Reaction Global Health Leaders have identified the top major opportunities.
We are enabling impact investing to create real impact
The Impact Menu: A recipe for impact investors
Microfinance was the pride of sustainable development, until it was established that it might cause harm when done incorrectly. We oppose reporting impact where there is none. Nor do we want to repeat the mistakes of others. We are working on creating an “Impact Menu” - a short summary of best practices in impact investing for different areas, designed to improve the efficiency of impact-driven decisions, for all.
Impact Investing: The Reaction way
