In our final Impact Dispatch for 2025, Amit Bouri reflects on the 7 trends he had laid out to look out for in January 2025 and the lessons learned in impact investing this year. In so many ways, 2025 was a year like no other, marked by extreme, concentrated spikes of volatility across the broad markets. Dramatic shifts in trade policy and geopolitical conflicts contributed to a prevalence of uncertainty and turbulence. And yet, our impact investing community continued to show up to work, to webinars, in person events, to conferences, co-hosting and partnering, pressing forward towards better, bigger, more potent solutions. I am truly grateful for our collective optimism, and all we achieved and strive towards. I can't name every person I worked with or all those in my network, but this message goes out to each and every one of you. Thank you and Happy Holidays. Peace on Earth. 🌍 🌎 🌏 Anna Goldstein; Isabella da Costa Mendes; Daniel Waldron Pierre-laurent Macridis, M.Sc; Sarah Marchand; Joon Y.
