Past webinar & Recordings
June 12: COP31: How philanthropy can help make Australia’s hosting transformational
To kick off the series we will explore how philanthropy has supported successful domestic and global outcomes through previous COPs, and hear from Andrew Higham, a world-renowned COP expert, on how Australian philanthropy can mobilise for COP31. We are fortunate to be joined by two pioneering AEGN members, Anna Cerneaz (Graeme Wood Foundation) and Jane Thomas (The Myer Foundation & The Sidney Myer Fund) who have been early pioneers of COP31 philanthropy who will share their funding approaches to maximising the opportunity of hosting the world on our shores in just 18 months time.
