A Global Alliance ‘Shaping Global Governance, Climate and Nature’
Our Global Alliance is helping to shape global governance, addressing climate change and the care of nature.
We are connecting and expanding our global network of those who are already playing leading roles in shaping global governance, climate change and the care of nature and who are joining forces through their association with us to have an even greater impact.
Each of our Partners and Allies is leading with purpose in their respective fields, while also contributing to an overall approach under the Foundation banner. While each may not necessarily agree with others on all issues, they do share a common conviction that there is value-added in working together with a common purpose.
The Foundation describes this collaboration as an ‘elastic band’ approach — a flexible but cohesive force that helps to bond and enable a group of people of influence to move forward together and to generate positive and meaningful outcomes, on an ongoing basis.
Our Global Alliance is continuously growing, as is their proven commitment to ‘Shaping Global Governance, Climate and Nature‘.
