Foundations and philanthropic organisations play a pivotal role on climate policy being uniquely placed to contribute with their local knowledge and help connect top-down policies with bottom-up initiatives feeding into the G20 and UNFCCC track. F20 can help to bridge these tracks and serves as a sounding board for solution-oriented dialogues.
It was a tremendous achievement when the world came together in 2015 and agreed on two landmark decisions, the SDGs and the Paris Climate Agreement. Since then, progress has been slow and we are running out of time to realize the goals we set for the world. I believe that with joint forces and collaboration, we can still achieve them – but it requires all stakeholders to play their part and the inclusion of all different communities with their creativity and know-how.
