Climate Intervention Roundtable
Main Theatre
We are thrilled to once again join forces with SilverLining to present our Climate Intervention Roundtable during our Growth Retreat
.As climate conditions grow ever more dangerous, policymakers and other stakeholders around the world have begun to consider rapid climate intervention by increasing the reflection of sunlight from clouds and particles in the atmosphere and the impact of the drawdown of the pollution particles that are currently cooling the climate. Our roundtable at the Growth Retreat is a dialogue among senior experts, philanthropic and other funders and thought-leaders in climate including Retreat speaker, Kelly Wanser, Executive Director of SilverLining.
If you want to participate in the roundtable discussion, please email kendall@climateimpact.co to apply for a place.
