Impact Investing in China Comment by 作者: The structure is ok, and teacher want to a lot of examples in this research paper to support your viewpoint

Introduction

Sustainability is the goal of every organization and nation. In economics, it refers to when a nation is able to support a demarcated level of economic production indeterminately (Aras & Crowther, 2012). A sustainable country meets the needs of its citizens and sustains its natural resources at the same time without struggling or straining. In this respect, many nations have set Sustainable Development Goals in a bid to reach this state and China is a clinical example of the resent case. While there are many strategies which China can execute to achieve her sustainability, given her situation, impact investing appears a more fitting means (Thesis).

Body

Definition of Impact Investing Comment by 作者: Put definition in Introduction

From the perspective of states and countries, impact investing refers to the funds and ventures that a state or nation makes into companies and organizations, with the aim of generating measurable, advantageous social and ecological impression alongside monetary returns.

China’s Sustainable Development Goals

China has her sustainable goals set, either on her own or in partnership with other nations and or world non-governmental organizations. In her 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, for example, Yao et al. (2014) affirm that China seeks to achieve:

a) Global environmental security

b) Sustained economic prosperity

c) Social justice and harmony and

d) Partnership promotion

China also seeks to free herself from conflicts, poverty, and the adverse effects of climate change (Andressen, Mubarak & Wang, 2013). Achieving these goals is not a problem because they are attainable. The dilemma is how to accomplish them.

Impact investing as a means of achieving Sustainable Development Goals in China

I. Global environmental security

Companies are in a better position of taking care of the environment because they can control the production of environmental-friendly products. They are also capable of treating and managing wastes in a better way; hence, government's investment in them will facilitate China's environmental security.

II. Sustained economic prosperity

Government venturing into companies means employment opportunities. The result is that the productivity of the whole nation will improve, and so China will prosper economically.

III. Social justice and harmony

When there are job opportunities, many people be earning (Aras & Crowther, 2012). As such, crimes will reduce the living standards of the Chinese improve; hence, social justice and harmony.

IV. Partnership promotion

In investing in companies and associations, China may either come up with new establishments or partners with the owners of the existing ones, thereby enhancing cooperation and collaboration.

Conclusion

China can count on many other ways of achieving her sustainability goals. However, impact investing is the best suit for any nation of the socioeconomic and political status like her. With this method, she will only need enough capital and the appropriate persons for the right tasks.
