This program is hosted by our partner, Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP), who has extended an invitation to PNY members.
Many disaster philanthropy approaches still treat disasters as episodic, isolated events, followed by a clear path to recovery. With climate change driving more frequent, interconnected and prolonged disasters, this model is increasingly difficult to sustain. How can funders adapt and innovate in an era of continuous climate disruption, evolving from reactive response toward anticipatory and forward-looking strategies?
Join CDP for a conversation on practical strategies for climate-informed giving. We’ll explore how funders can support community-led innovations, strengthen philanthropic partnerships and invest in long-term resilience.
Speakers
- Scott Onder, Chief Investment and Innovation Officer, Mercy Corps
- Jessica Hitt, Senior Associate Director – Adaptation and Resilience, ClimateWorks Foundation
- Greg Puley, Chief of the Climate and Innovation Section, OCHA’s Finance and Outreach Division
- Sharad Aggarwal (Moderator), CDP Vice President of Fund Management & Coalition Building
