Scriptoria Sustainable Development Solutions

In 2022, GET.invest came to us with a challenge: how can communications help clean energy businesses and project developers find the information, connections and confidence they need to become investment ready? 📈⚡

From market insight toolkits and impact stories to social media and event assets, Scriptoria has helped deliver communications for GET.invest that turn complex information into useful, engaging content that supports investment readiness. This work gives greater visibility to the programme, providing resources that help project developers and companies connect with financiers. 🌍🤝💶

It is a good example of how we approach strategic communications – to understand the objective first, then build the strategy, stories and content needed to deliver impact.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Scriptoria, we’re reflecting on some highlights from our Strategic Communications work, looking back over the past 10 years since the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals.

This time we’re going a little further back into the archives to 2018, where our Senior Writer and Editor provided expert editorial support to the OECD’s ‘Development Co-operation Report 2018: Joining Forces to Leave No One Behind’.

🔸Goal 10: Reduced Inequality 🔸

Project: Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)

Services: Editorial support

In 2015, the UN adopted the 2030 Agenda, committing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals while leaving no one behind. The OECD’s flagship Development Co-operation Report for 2018 shows the learning process of putting this commitment into practice. It highlights how rising inequality, climate change and fragility threaten development gains, and calls for more inclusive policies, better data and stronger partnerships to reach those most at risk of being excluded. The report argues that development co-operation must evolve through a renewed narrative, smarter use of official development assistance, and more co-ordinated action to ensure sustainable development benefits everyone.

Scriptoria’s Strategic Communications Team collaborated closely with OECD and the many authors worldwide to edit and refine the report, ensuring the content was clear, consistent and accessible while upholding the standards of the OECD brand.

Much has changed since 2018, including – it’s important to remember – change for the better. Revisiting the report, our editor was reminded that at the time around 1 billion people lacked access to electricity. Today, this number has reduced to 655 million people who are still living without access to electricity. Human development has been happening on a massive scale at the base of the economic pyramid – yet far more targeted action is needed to ensure no one is left behind, as we try to keep the collective promise of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals for all.

If you’re looking for support with your next publication, get in touch. Scriptoria’s expert Strategic Communications Team can help – from concept development, strategic positioning and storytelling to editorial support, design, layout and data visualisation. We offer everything you need to create compelling, high-impact communications.

If all life matters equally, how does that change how we lead and what we do? 💭

This is the big question being asked by a new initiative, the Fund for Nature-centric Organizations. 🌍

Nature-centrism is a paradigm that prioritises the Earth, biodiversity and ecosystems at the core of human and societal values, choices and decision-making. The initiative aims to support organisational transformation, including treating nature not merely as a resource but as a living system with intrinsic value and agency, among other principles.

This is a philosophy that resonates with Scriptoria’s Strategic Communications Team, and we were pleased to support the initiative in promoting its first event, titled “Towards a Nature-Centric Future”, to be held on 1–4 October 2026. The event will bring together senior professionals, scholars, change management experts and non-profit leaders to discuss the transition to nature-centric institutional models.

We’re excited to see how the Fund for Nature-centric Organizations advances this concept and the outcomes of the workshop. In the meantime, check out this reading list, which compiles foundational literature about nature-centrism. Members of our Strategic Communications Team can personally recommend titles such as ‘Braiding Sweetgrass’ by Robin Wall Kimmerer and ‘Is a River Alive?’ by Robert MacFarlane, and we’ve got our eyes on several others. 📚

Let us know if you’ve read any of these titles, or your thoughts on nature-centrism, in the comments.

We are continuing our series, “Celebrating 25 years of Scriptoria”, looking back at some of the Strategic Communications Team’s work from the past 10 years, since the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This time we’re exploring the Green Cities, Infrastructure and Energy Programme (GCIEP). From 2023 to 2026, GCIEP provided vital expertise and laid the foundations for resilient infrastructure development in 50 cities across 30 countries in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean – unlocking hundreds of millions of dollars in investment.

🔸 Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure 🔸

Project: Green Cities, Infrastructure and Energy Programme (GCIEP)

Services: Strategic Communications | Press Relations | Storytelling | Writing | Editing | Events | Messaging | Video | Animation

GCIEP was a £75-million flagship programme leading the UK Government’s Centre of Expertise in Green Cities, Infrastructure and Energy, within the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).

As the lead communications partner for GCIEP, Scriptoria’s strategic communications experts devised high-level strategy and country-specific messaging for the programme, delivering content such as press releases, overviews, blogs and social media.

Managing the programme’s website, social media accounts and newsletter, the team drove significant increases in engagement, such as building a LinkedIn following of more than 5,000 from scratch.

By effectively demonstrating the initial impact of the programme to FCDO, our communications support helped secure funding for Phase 2 of GCIEP.

The team also developed detailed knowledge and learning products that are now securing the ongoing legacy of the programme, informing governments, partners and civil society on sustainable infrastructure priorities and approaches.
