This convening will bring together leadership from several state, national and international foundations who have funded initiatives that advance economic opportunity and environmental wellbeing, promote a just transition, and could be either replicated elsewhere in the country or scaled up under a Green New Deal. We will explore what they are learning, how they have overcome challenges, and what has had the most positive impact. You’ll also learn how they’re working in partnership across organizations and issue-areas to accomplished shared goals.
Speakers include:
- Lauren David, 11th Hour Project
- Gregory Lopez, Leonardo DiCaprio Program
- Alex Paxton, Water Foundation
- Rudi Navarra, The Solutions Project
- Moderator: Elliott Ponchick, William C. Bannerman Foundation
