Art and artists draw attention to the issues and open conversations about aspects of the problems the world is facing. I think interesting visual work remains in peoples’ minds and creates an emotional response that equally stays with them. This is how artists who choose to advocate and campaign can connect with people in a way that other forms of information have not. Where one body of water is sinking beneath or riding over top of the surface layer of another body of water (somewhat similar in mechanics to subduction and/or uprisal of the earth plates at continental margins). These types of tidelines are often found where rivers enter the ocean. This Compass Series discussion is dedicated to the late Suzanne Biegel, a pioneer of gender-lens investing. We owe the success of not just gender-lens investing, but also of all of the impact lenses represented in this Compass Series panel, to her tireless efforts to make finance more inclusive, impactful, and effective. Charles Smith-Jones' muntjac book. Muntjac: Managing an Alien Species is a great, in-depth, look at the history, ecology, management and stalking of muntjac deer. Then we have our new edition of the classic The English Whippetby Colonel Ted Walsh and Mary Lowe.

I have a wide range of interests and spend time looking into contemporary matters, both through the internet and through talking to people involved both in creating the problems and the solutions that are affecting our planet. At the centre of a programme devoted to rethinking our relationship with the environment is Messums’ 13th century tithe barn. The largest in the country, the barn gallery becomes a turbine hall for the imagination this summer starting with Tideline, a group exhibition running from 14 May – 3 July 2022.Intentionality – Explicitly targeting specific social or environmental outcomes, such as the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); Global warming and rising sea levels will soon have a devastating impact on our daily lives. Cornwall is one of the UK counties which will be most affected by climate change; cliffs are eroding and flood risks are increasing. The coastal cliffs of North Cornwall are likely to experience 40 metres of erosion in the next century. Climate change is happening now, and we can already see the effects that this is having around the world.

Independent verification is essential for scaling the impact investing industry with integrity,” said Christina Leijonhufvud, a Managing Partner at Tideline who has transitioned to become CEO of BlueMark. “By introducing a reliable mechanism for establishing trust and accountability in the impact investment market, stakeholders can have greater confidence in impact claims and performance. Asset owners and institutional allocators especially benefit from the introduction of impact verification, which has the potential to dramatically simplify the impact screening and monitoring process and thereby mobilize greater capital flows toward positive societal impact.” It also introduces the theme of mapping and representation, as well as an aspect of fishing off shore, which connects us to thinking of boundaries both physical and political, and the way these lines are drawn. Lisa Jewell has called it ‘Enthralling and Addictive’ and Jenny Quintana (author of ‘The Missing Girl’) ‘A truly compelling story that captures exactly the complexity of friendship and motherhood and how everything we think we know can be challenged in one heartbreaking instant…’ Geoffrey Wansell wrote in the Mail ‘ Penny’s ability to evoke place and fill it with a sense of dread, not to mention her cool ear for the nuances of dialogue underline the du Maurier comparison .’ There are obvious climate change issues which will impact people on every island, and global fishing practices which are destructive, wasteful and harm ecosystems such as coral reefs, as well as entire communities and island nations. Factory and fishing are two words that should never have been put together.

In a small sand-island in the North Sea, a tiny figure filmed from a drone walks in ever decreasing circles around the tightening perimeter of the shore. As the tide comes in and eats away at the sliver of land, so it and the figure’s room for manoeuvre reduces and ultimately disappears, vanishing under the inevitable waves. Like other works in the show, Simon Faithfull’s Going Nowhere 1.5 brings humour and absurdity to bear on a situation which can seem hopeless and beyond our understanding. Q. What is the inspiration behind your work in Tideline and how does it sit within the context of your work? The BlueMark team has designed proprietary methodologies for evaluating how each of the three key components of an investor’s impact management process—impact mandates, impact management practices, and impact reporting—are aligned with industry standards like OPIM, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Impact Management Project (IMP), the Global Impact Investing Network’s (GIIN) IRIS+, UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and others.
