Description :

An estimated $2 trillion is required annually for developing countries to fight the climate crisis and limit greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. However, present trends suggest that philanthropic capital is disproportionately disbursed to developed countries, and only a minor share of 2% is channelled towards emission reduction. To make a dent in climate change, philanthropic funding must be more effectively disbursed, creatively positioned, and comprehensively deployed to meet existing funding gaps across both developed and developing markets.

Hear from the Philanthropy Asia Alliance, World Economic Forum and The Rockefeller Foundation on how the private and public sectors can effectively partner philanthropic organisations to drive the net-zero agenda at scale.

This panel session is curated in collaboration with Philanthropy Asia Alliance, a Temasek Trust initiative dedicated to catalysing collaborative philanthropy in Asia through dynamic multi-sector partnerships.
