What are foundation leaders doing to address climate change, in their mission-related work and in their investment practices? How pressing of a problem is climate change from the perspective of foundation and nonprofit leaders, and how do they think climate change will affect their work? Moreover, how are leaders of organizations that do not focus on climate change thinking about this issue, and to what extent are these leaders currently addressing — or open to addressing — climate change relative to their context, goals, and strategies?

Given the urgency of our current stark climate realities, join this vital conversation where a panel of experts will explore and respond to new findings from the Center for Effective Philanthropy’s latest report, Much Alarm, Less Action: Foundations and Climate Change, which directly addresses these questions.
