Action Greater than the Sum of the Parts: Systems Change Collaboration

Featuring: The Systemic Climate Action Collaborative, Tsao Pao Chee Group, & Shakti Regeneration

Location & Time: One World Trade Center, 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Session Description

Despite intensifying warnings from the IPCC, visible signs of climate change, and escalating biodiversity loss, our efforts to halt and reverse global warming and adapt to its adverse effects remain dangerously insufficient. Notwithstanding increased political focus on climate action, ‘green’ policies, the rise of environmental, social and governance (ESG) and impact investing and targeted solutions development, our efforts are still inadequate to transform the human design for life required in the next two decades.

An emergent collaborative framework aimed at shifting the current power dynamics from servicing individual projects to creating the conditions for joined up action across sectors - from the few to the many - is urgently needed to proactively address the world’s polycrisis. We designed the Systemic Climate Action Collaborative to address fragmentation, competition, and insufficient funding for systemic transformation: the key barriers that limit us from achieving the paradigm shift needed to address climate change. The Collaborative brings together leading foundations, philanthropists, corporations, public institutions, and other donors, to commit significant funding for climate action through systemic transformation.

To build meaningful dialogue and community with donors and potential collaborators, The Collaborative, in partnership with the Tsao Pao Chee Group, will provide an evening of thoughtful discussions and insights on how a new form of collaboration can emerge to solve the most pressing challenges of our time.
