Impact initiatives

Over the past year, Economist Impact has expanded its work to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges through four new initiatives focused on food insecurity, health as a driver of economic growth, the transformative power of technology, and sustainable urban development.

Each initiative combines independent research, policy analysis, expert perspectives, creative storytelling and events. Our goal is to inform debate, spark ideas and help shape a more sustainable, prosperous and inclusive future for all.

Our initiatives

Areas of expertise

Through in-depth research, global intelligence, deep analysis and a balanced view, we shape debate and guide decisions that help markets and societies progress.

Health & Society

We explore how health supports economic and social progress. Our work spans health security, climate-related risks, mental health and wellbeing, non-communicable diseases and healthy ageing. We also examine digital health innovation and efforts to improve equity and inclusion in health outcomes.

Energy & Environment

We study the shifts needed to align prosperity with the planet’s limits. Our research covers energy and decarbonisation, food and nutrition, water and oceans, sustainable mobility, circular economies, ecosystems and biodiversity, and climate finance—how societies produce, move and use resources in a low-carbon, resilient world.
