22 The Business Case for SDGs 1. The 4 billion people who live in poverty represent a largely untapped market of USD 5 Trillion (according to data by IFC and WRI). 2. The global market for green technologies ranging across energy efficiency, water management, sustainable mobility, environmentally friendly energies and storage, resource and material efficiency, and the circular economy will grow to over EUR 3 Trillion by 2020 (according to research by Siemens). 3. The topics the SDGs address are energizing investment in research and development and start-ups. This kind of impact investing could see new capital inflows of up to USD 1 Trillion by 2020 (see Brooks, David. How to Leave a Mark, New York Times. January 27, 2015).

26 The Horizon 2020 Regulation states that: Climate action and resource efficiency are mutually reinforcing objectives for achieving sustainable development. The specific objectives relating to both should be complemented through the other specific objectives of Horizon As a result it is expected that at least 60% of the overall Horizon 2020 budget should be related to sustainable development. It is also expected that climate-related expenditure should exceed 35% of the budget, including mutually compatible measures improving resource efficiency. Budget: 80 Billion Euro
