This book is a practitioner’s guide to sustainable development, laying out strategies for attracting investment for communities and their partners.

It proposes an innovative Sustainable Development Proposition (SDP) decision-making tool based on a propositional calculus that can be used to analyse the sustainability of an infrastructure investment. It draws on environmental sustainability governance data analysis enabling investors to understand the economic indicators, income potential, return on investment, demand and legal compliance, as well as community and social benefits. Identified risks, issues and advantages are managed and monitored, and the SDP guidance can be applied to improve the prospects of the project in order to attract investment. Sustainable Community Investment Indicators (SCIIs™) have been developed to assist with attracting investment and monitoring feedback on infrastructure projects, designed by the author for remote rural and indigenous communities – in response to current industry tools that are designed for urban environments. The book includes a broad range of real-world and hypothetical case studies in agricultural and indigenous areas in South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and the Pacific.

Taking a diverse economies approach, these industry tools can be adapted to allow for enterprise design with unique communities. This book provides sustainable development practitioners, including government agencies, financiers, developers, lawyers and engineers, with a positive, practical guide to addressing and overcoming global issues with local and community-based solutions and funding options.

Reviews for Attracting Sustainable Investment: A Professional Guide

""Saskia’s study of what works when investing in sustainable energy in remote and Indigenous communities will be a great boon to both those communities and potential investors. The text makes fascinating reading. Her conceptual tool, the Sustainable Development Proposition, makes application of that knowledge a little easier in practice."" Stephen Keim SC, Barrister-at-Law, recipient of the Law Council of Australia’s 2020 President’s Award and recipient of the Human Rights Medal, 2009, by the Australian Human Rights Commission. ""The tools in this book will ensure that your return on investment goes beyond a monetary return. You will have a sound basis to expect that your investments, and the partnerships that are formed with communities, are building capacity at the local level, and enhancing connectivity and opportunities with the broader economy in a way that is, dare I say, sustainable in perpetuity."" Craig Cowled, Engineer, Researcher, Educator, Worimi man. ""Saskia Vanderbent has provided a comprehensive insight into the diverse energy challenges being confronted globally and how communities are moving to address them. This prescient perspective takes its currency in the present circumstances facing the world."" Allan Fife OAM, Chief Investment Officer, Fife Capital.
