| | This paper attempts to conceptualise SFM financing by offering a
holistic approach inspired by two complementary typologies based on the
source of flows and cross-sectoral interactions respectively. Together,
these two typologies contribute to a better understanding of SFM
financing in three ways: first, they help visualise the SFM financing
landscape, composed not only of a variety of flows but also the
trade-offs and synergies between them. Secondly, they help identify a
set of recommendations to improve and increase SFM financing over the
long term. Thirdly, they highlight the glaring data gaps that need to be
filled before any attempt can be made at quantifying SFM financing in
its entirety. |

| With data becoming ever "bigger", increasing in volume (not sampling, just ingesting), with greater velocity (available in near real-time) and in limitless variety (drawing
from text, images, audio, video, and many new forms), there is great
potential to change the way we understand and care for the world.
Specifically, concepts like “sustainability” begin to take on more
definition. Big data is fueled by the power of transparency and can help
to identify sustainability leaders and those lagging behind set
sustainability targets across corporate and sovereign landscapes .
