Global Philanthropy Forum

At a time of fast-paced change, the demand for global governance outstrips the supply. No issue better illustrates this disparity than that of climate change. Many far-sighted commercial actors have altered their practices, reducing their carbon footprint and investing in technologies designed to prevent climate change or mitigate its effects. Concerned individuals have made energy-conscious choices both as citizens and consumers. National governments and regional organizations have advanced policies pricing carbon and regulating energy use. But—in the face of the existential threat that climate change can pose - aglobal agreement continues to elude us. Conferees will hear from an international leader committed to closing the gap between governance demand and supply.Special Address: Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary, UN Framework for Climate ChangeIntroduced by Christine Morse, CEO, Margaret A.
