Scaling Demand for Commercial Tenant Green Buildouts: Progress Report
In 2011, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Johnson Controls Inc. (JCI), and Goldman Sachs committed to work with their project partners Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL), Greenprint Foundation, Malkin Holdings, Vornado Realty Trust, and YR%G, with funding from Rockefeller Foundation, on a project to grow demand for green build-outs of commercial tenant spaces, and energy efficiency upgrades to office buildings. The commitment aims to significantly reduce carbon emissions and energy use, and in the process create many new jobs. The commitment makers will work with participating commercial tenants to incorporate energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality measures into the layout, design, and construction of their premises. The partners will carefully measure and document, and aggressively publicize the economic benefits generated by the high-performance measures, with the goals of commercializing the business case and providing a roadmap for green tenant build-outs.

Bioinnovation in Africa: People, Forests, Food, Energy: Progress Report
In 2011, Novozymes, in partnership with CleanStar Mozambique (CSM), committed to pioneering a food-energy system that will drastically improve both the environment and human lives. Farmers in Sofala province will be fully supported in implementing an environmentally restorative agroforestry system that will produce a wide range of crops. Farmers will be able to sell their excess production to CSM, thereby increasing their incomes by over 400%. CSM will produce a range of food products as well as an ethanol-based cooking fuel. By 2014, the venture will involve 3000 smallholders over 13000 acres, supply 20 percent of Maputo households with a clean and cheaper alternative to charcoal and thus protect 9000 acres of indigenous forests per year. This pioneers an innovative, integrated, and replicable business model that addresses a trio of problems facing much of Africa--land degradation, food and nutrition security, and energy sustainability.

Healthier Urban Environments: Designing for Impact - 2012 CGI Annual Meeting
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are chronic diseases that include cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes and account for 60 percent of worldwide deaths. Eighty percent of these deaths are in low- and middle-income countries, with an estimated economic cost of $500 billion a year for Africa alone. When compared with the use of medication and surgery, preventing common risk factors, such as unhealthy diets or alcohol, is more cost effective in limiting disease burden. NCDs are far more prevalent in urban settings and the situation will only worsen with rapid urbanization in emerging economies. Therefore, it is essential to reduce the risk factors of NCDs by designing healthier urban environments%mdashbe it through better design of buildings and outdoor spaces or through public incentive and community-based programs.

Access to Energy: Designing for Impact - 2012 CGI Annual Meeting
1.6 billion people around the world live without power or electric light, 70 percent of whom are women and children. Each year, nearly two million people die prematurely of illnesses caused by indoor air pollution from solid fuel use in households. Access to reliable and safe energy is therefore key to both health and economic development, with impacts ranging from providing children with a light-source for nighttime studying to limiting deforestation. Innovations in products, technologies, business models, and financing, with a particular focus on integrating women in the production and delivery process, are showing promise in providing safe and reliable access to energy to these 1.6 billion.

Early Childhood Education: Designing for Impact - 2012 CGI Annual Meeting
Continuing the discussion from the Plenary Session, "The Early Years: An Irresistible Investment Opportunity," early childhood education has many benefits, yet it has often been neglected relative to primary school education. Children attending pre-school are not only more likely to complete primary and secondary schools, they will also earn more throughout their life and drive up their country's GDP. Pre-schooling also serves to reduce inequalities and is associated with better childhood health and nutrition and a mother's ability to earn a living. For a business, organized day care centers help ensure improved employee productivity, attendance, and satisfaction. Only 46 percent of pre-primary age children across the world are enrolled in education, a figure that drops to 13 percent for the least developed countries and varies vastly by income level.

Protection from Shocks: Designing for Impact - 2012 CGI Annual Meeting
Living on less than two dollars a day, 2.7 billion people are barely able to make ends meet on a daily basis. When the crop fails that year, when a family member falls sick and needs hospitalization or medicine, or when a hurricane destroys the family home, there rarely is any safety net provided by the government to address these unforeseen challenges. When extended family cannot provide assistance, the result can be a level of indebtedness that drives the family into extreme poverty. Putting in place preventative measures to mitigate the impact of shocks is essential to providing hope and lifting individuals and communities out of the poverty cycle.
