While the IPCC has made clear that “it’s 2030 or bust” if we are to avert the worst impacts of climate change, less than 2% of philanthropic capital is directed towards climate solutions. Can that be changed?
Join Arizona State University’s Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability and Matthew Nordan, Managing Director and co-founder of Prime Coalition, for this 90-minute webinar about how philanthropy can help speed the transition to a clean energy future. Matthew will share Prime Coalition’s story and their work with foundations to research and invest charitable capital in early stage companies that can have transformational impacts on climate change.
The session was sponsored by The 90-minute webinar, sponsored by Arizona State University’s Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability
