A panel at the 2022 Climate Conference underscores a dramatic revving up of demand for a technological niche.

Managing the Impact of Climate Change

Climate change presents humanity with a dizzying array of challenges, but green shoots of progress are emerging from the world of business.

Valerie Rockefeller is one of the country’s most innovative leaders in the fight against climate change and in our transition to a low carbon economy. As chair of Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, and BankFWD, she is helping to pioneer ways to channel philanthropy and the capital markets towards a more inclusive and sustainable future.

Following US President-elect Joe Biden's victory and recent carbon-neutrality pledges from China, Japan, the European Union, and others, now is the time to meet words with action.

The climate crisis is the greatest threat to humanity’s long-term viability. With more sensible US leadership, the world will have a fighting chance of survival.
