London: Water, Climate, and Catalytic Philanthropy: Unlocking Solutions to a Sustainable Future
In March, on the heels of World Water Day, Lebec, in partnership with Water.org, brought together its global community at The Conduit in London to explore how flexible and long-term grant funding and investments in clean water and sanitation can accelerate progress towards climate change. Alix Lebec moderated a solutions-oriented discussion, during which panelists delved into how catalytic philanthropy is uniquely positioned to unlock investment capital at scale to solve the global water and climate crisis – challenges that philanthropy alone cannot solve.
Panelists included:
Gary White, Co-Founder & CEO, Water.org
Michelle Yue, Co-Founder, The Beam Network
Chiara Trabacchi, Manager, Climate, Diversity, British International Investment
