Breaking down silos: Seeking innovative financing solutions to big sustainability challenges
Manage episode 401029100 series 2734211
A key theme emerging from interviews for the ESG Insider podcast is that solutions to big sustainability challenges require collaboration across silos. Today in Part III of our 'Breaking down silos' miniseries, we’re talking to a major global philanthropic foundation about how it partners with stakeholders around the world to finance solutions to issues like climate change and food systems transformation.
We sit down with Elizabeth Yee, Executive Vice President of Programs at the Rockefeller Foundation.
"Philanthropy can't do it alone,” Elizabeth says. “In order to achieve the changes that we want to see across the programmatic work we do — which is clean energy access and transition; which is understanding, pushing forward the field of climate and health; which is ensuring that food is both good for people and planet; and ensuring that we also build a more equitable and green financial system — the only way to achieve any of those systems transformations is to work in partnership with government, the private sector, philanthropies, other civil society actors to deliver on those outcomes.”
