Funding the Frontlines of Climate Change

Description:

The climate crisis has proven to be an emergency that needs to be addressed with solutions rooted in intersectional thinking that acknowledge the global challenges requiring both immediate and sustainable action. This panel will seek to answer the question of why money matters in climate change, and who, as well as where, it needs to be directed towards, and how both on-the-ground tree-growing and campaigns are needed to stop the destruction of our planetary ecosystems. Representatives from Jonas Philanthropies's Trees for Climate Health, Common Vision, and Mongabay will discuss the middle ground between the two, and the reality of balancing a community-focused approach, as well as an overarching, philanthropic strategy that encompasses climate action in an equitable, just, and smart way.
