    Sep 26 2022
    The way we produce, process, eat, and waste food has devastating environmental, social, and health impacts. These costs generally go unaccounted for in the final price of food, in policies, and on budget sheets. With the industrial food system accounting for a third of all global greenhouse gas emissions, the food systems transformation aagenda is the climate agenda. In this episode, we focus on connecting the two.

    Philanthropy with Neera Nundy
    Sep 5 2022
    Immediate and deep emission reductions are needed to secure a climate-safe future for us all. Philanthropic foundations are well placed to take the lead. But the sector is lagging behind when it comes to climate action. Funding for climate change mitigation is growing, yet still accounts for less than 2% of total philanthropic giving worldwide. We explore how the philanthropic sector can loosen the purse strings and unleash the power of political persuasion.

    Phrases like “Just Transition” and “Race to Zero” shape the political debate as well as policy and practice — in ways good and bad.
