We are thrilled to see this work come to life in the Child-Lens Investing Framework, and encourage investors across the field to adopt CLI and invest in the future of children. I have a wide range of interests and spend time looking into contemporary matters, both through the internet and through talking to people involved both in creating the problems and the solutions that are affecting our planet. Congratulations to the UNICEF and UNICEF USA teams on their release of the Child-Lens Investing Framework! Tideline is proud to have worked alongside UNICEF and UNICEF USA in the development of this framework, introducing the concept of child-lens investing to the market. Going Nowhere 1.5’ is the latest instalment in an accidental trilogy of ‘Going Nowhere’ films that now spans 25 years. The idea for ‘Going Nowhere 1.5’ came from being fascinated by ‘Doggerland’– a drowned world in the North Sea that used to link Europe and the British Isles and whose remains now form the entirely submerged ‘Dogger Bank’. Shot in the North Sea off the coast of Norfolk, the film depicts a figure walking around the perimeter of an intertidal island as it is slowly eaten away by the rising tide. As with all the Going Nowhere films the figure seems to be caught in an absurd and Sisyphean task – always striding forwards, but to what aim remains unclear. In ‘Going Nowhere 1.5’ the figure could perhaps be seen as the last ‘Doggerlander’.

When I was very young, I remember the hearing about acid rain, and the notion was profound and disturbing. I learned that the weather pattern of the world meant that air pollution from UK businesses destroyed vast areas of Scandinavian forests. Connecting the dots at the time has informed and shaped my views, and left me with a global perspective on matters that interest me. A tideline refers to where two currents in the ocean converge. Driftwood, floating seaweed, foam, and other floating debris may accumulate, forming sinuous lines called tidelines (although they generally have nothing to do with the tide). Thank you to our esteemed guest speakers, Di Fu, VP of Impact Investing at Temasek; Kristin Sadler, Manager of Platform & Impact at Quona Capital; Rekha Unnithan, CFA Unnithan, Global Head Impact Private Equity at Nuveen, a TIAA company; and Eszter Vitorino Fuleky, Lead Expert Sustainability Advisory at Van Lanschot Kempen, for sharing your valuable insights as we strive to move beyond table stakes. October 1, 2020 — Tideline, a specialist consultant for the impact investing industry, today announced the launch of BlueMark, an independent business providing impact verification services for investors and companies. BlueMark’s mission is “to strengthen trust in impact investing” through rigorous and independent assessments of an investor’s or company’s impact practices and performance, thereby building confidence and credibility in the impact label. The new business draws on Tideline’s deep expertise helping clients develop sophisticated impact investment strategies and practices, with third-party verification now emerging as the next critical piece of a best-in-class approach. Tideline, a specialist consultant for the impact investing industry, today published a how-to guide for investors seeking to define their approach to sustainable investing. The full report, “Truth in Impact: A Tideline Guide to Using the Impact Investment Label,” is available at https://bit.ly/3yiy8Mu.

In 2018, Richard Long produced a series of screen prints, based on drawings he made from mud taken from the banks of the tidal River Avon in Bristol, where he first played as a child. ‘Even as a kid I was fascinated by the enormous tide, and the mud banks, and the wash of the boats as they swept past… I guess it’s right to say that I have used that experience in my art: like water, the tides, the mud. All that cosmic energy is there in my work.’ Lisa Jewell has called it ‘Enthralling and Addictive’ and Jenny Quintana (author of ‘The Missing Girl’) ‘A truly compelling story that captures exactly the complexity of friendship and motherhood and how everything we think we know can be challenged in one heartbreaking instant…’ Charles Smith-Jones' muntjac book. Muntjac: Managing an Alien Species is a great, in-depth, look at the history, ecology, management and stalking of muntjac deer. Then we have our new edition of the classic The English Whippetby Colonel Ted Walsh and Mary Lowe. Tideline’s ‘Framework for Impact Labeling’ helps investors communicate their approach to sustainable investing based on the degree to which they integrate Intentionality, Contribution, and Measurement into their investment process

I wanted the sculpture to be a playful yet beautiful reminder of climate change and the purpose of these forms, and what our future will be like if we don’t take action now to prevent it. Also outside the Barn is Ros Burgin’s Lifelines. Coral reefs are some of the richest and most diverse ecosystems on earth, representing an important source of food and income to more than 500 million people worldwide, and they perform a crucial role in coastal defence. They are formed of the calcium carbonate skeletons of corals, small, immobile organisms closely related to jellyfish. Under pressure from pollution, over-fishing, sea temperature rises and bleaching, reefs have declined by 50% since 1950. Burgin’s work maps out the world’s remaining tropical coral reefs across four handcrafted Lignum surfboards. I started looking at sea defences within my work in 2017, as I was interested in their varying geometric shapes. These huge man-made shapes protect the land we walk on from the ever-encroaching expanses of sea. They seem so alien and out of place in their natural setting.Tideline is a specialist consultant for the impact investing industry providing expert, tailored and actionable advice to clients developing impact investment strategies, products and solutions.

A long time ago, John Muir (1838 -1914), the Scottish-born American naturalist, and founder of the modern conservation movement observed “When one tugs at a single living thing in nature, one finds it attached to the rest of the world.” reefs and presented them in a series of vitrines, first shown as part of Hull’s City of Culture in 2017. There are obvious climate change issues which will impact people on every island, and global fishing practices which are destructive, wasteful and harm ecosystems such as coral reefs, as well as entire communities and island nations. Factory and fishing are two words that should never have been put together. Impact verification came to the forefront in April 2019 with the introduction of the Operating Principles for Impact Management (“OPIM” or the “Impact Principles”), led by the International Finance Corporation (“IFC”) and now featuring a growing group of more than 100 signatories dedicated to “establishing a common discipline around the management of investments for impact.” One of these Principles—Principle 9—specifically requires signatories to publicly disclose and independently verify their alignment with the Principles on a regular basis.

Contribution – Playing a differentiated role to enhance the achievement of the targeted social or environmental outcomes; and If nothing is done, half of the world’s sandy beaches could disappear by 2100 due to climate change-induced coastal erosion and rising seas. As global temperatures continue to rise, driven by heat trapping greenhouse gases, melting ice will raise sea levels, and extreme weather events are expected to become more frequent and intensify, battering vulnerable coastlines around the world.

Intentionality – Explicitly targeting specific social or environmental outcomes, such as the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); At the centre of a programme devoted to rethinking our relationship with the environment is Messums’ 13th century tithe barn. The largest in the country, the barn gallery becomes a turbine hall for the imagination this summer starting with Tideline, a group exhibition running from 14 May – 3 July 2022. Dorothy Cross’s Jellyfish Lake was inspired by the artist’s research into pioneering marine biologist Maud Delap, who in 1902 became the first person to rear jellyfish (in an aquarium at her home in Valentia Island, County Kerry) and to observe their full lifecycle. Filmed in the lakes of Palau Micronesia (itself at the sharp end of sea level rise), the video shows hundreds of tiny, delicate jellyfish swimming around the head and shoulders of a woman, whose hair floats with them in the swilling water. Lulling and dreamlike, the film captures a moment of coexistence that brings to mind Rachel Carson’s observation, ‘It is a curious situation that the sea, from which life first arose, should now be threatened by the activities of one form of that life. But the sea, though changed in a sinister way, will continue to exist; the threat is rather to life itself.’ The challenge now is to channel the curiosity of scientists and creative thinkers towards devising new activities and modes of existence. The guide also introduces the Tideline Framework for Impact Labeling, which compares and contrasts different approaches to sustainable investing according to the degree to which those investment approaches integrate three core pillars of impact investing:
