The Energy Revolution Is Underway – Don’t Get Left Behind! Climate change will, and already is, impacting all parts of our society. Addressing it will require a major transformation in our society and economy. In particular, energy generation has to transition away from polluting energy sources and towards clean energy sources such as renewables. Both the problem and the solution have major implications for employment, housing and other areas. It is not just an environmental issue, but an issue which will touch on all facets of our society and economy – and therefore all funders need to think about how their philanthropy will respond. What can foundations do to support the vulnerable, ensure a just transition to the new world of clean energy and to capture the benefits of the energy revolution for their corpuses and the communities they support? |

Risk, Reinvention and Innovation (open to funders only) Philanthropy is meant to be the risk capital for change – but are we afraid of taking risks and what can we learn from our successes and failures and from the innovation that arises from taking risks? The session will begin with presentations from the panellists from three different perspectives: philanthropic sector’s role in supporting innovation; foundation approaches to innovation and risk and/or foundation re-invention; and learnings around innovation and risk from one or more specific funded projects. The presentations will be followed by a moderated panel conversation and an interactive activity. |
