COP28 Episode One

The first day of the Business and Philanthropy Forum

The first day at the Sustainable Markets Initiative's Business and Philanthropy Forum saw a huge turnout as people gathered to discuss how collaboration across the private sector and with the public sector could play a transformative role in the transition.

After the King reminded us of our connections to each other and the planet, we heard about the importance of working together across sectors and disciplines from TV presenter Bear Grylls, Jennifer Holmgren of Lanzatech, Indigenous leader Perry Bellegarde, Tim Wainwright of Water Aid, Patrick Holden of the Sustainable Food Trust, Adith Murthy of Boomitra and Baroness Scotland of the Commonwealth.
