Welcome to our guest column where practitioners, policymakers, and investors from various sectors and across the world can contribute their perspective on sustainable investment.

Global investment debates are at an inflection point. As governments, companies, institutions, and communities grapple with climate risk, industrial transformation, geopolitical fragmentation, and widening inequality, many existing investment frameworks are struggling to keep pace. Too often, conversations remain siloed—separated by discipline, sector, or institution—when the challenges themselves are deeply interconnected.
CCSI Investment Perspectives is a series of short think pieces that explore a wide array of global investment challenges and solutions, reflective of the broad and systemic scope of CCSI’s work in law, policy, economics, finance, technology, and beyond. Join us in shaping the discourse on how investment can be scaled and aligned toward sustainable outcomes.
All submissions are reviewed for their rigor, originality, quality of evidence, and contribution to the field, with a preference for pieces that advance practical, solutions-oriented perspectives. Final editorial decisions—acceptance, revision, or rejection—are made based on these criteria and alignment with CCSI’s mission of shaping investment for sustainable development.
Submissions should fall within 850–1000 words, with 900 words as ideal, and use hyperlinks for references wherever possible, resorting to footnotes only when necessary.

Following an initial assessment, selected manuscripts pass through a peer review process. The managing editor anonymizes the draft, manages copyediting, and handles communications with two peer reviewers. The typical review timeline ranges from one to two weeks. Anonymized and independent feedback is provided to authors.
CCSI Investment Perspectives was preceded by Columbia FDI Perspectives, a series of perspectives on important and topical foreign direct investment issues, under the stewardship of Karl P. Sauvant as Editor-in-Chief.
