From Science to Action: Exploring the Complexity of Climate Solutions

Less than two percent of philanthropic dollars fund climate-related initiatives, despite the fact that major environmental grantmakers are calling for increased investment and scientists continue to flag the increasing risks created by climate change. How can and should foundations help create more resilient communities in the United States and around the world? This Leadership in Action session explores that question, as diverse experts discuss the intersection between science and policy and climate solutions. Join speakers from the National Geographic, World Resources Institute, and the Walmart Foundation for a conversation on the significant ways philanthropic dollars can be effectively leveraged to increase investment in climate initiatives, create more resilient communities, and otherwise respond to the complex challenges associated with climate change.
