*************************************************
We are at an unprecedented time in history. Climate crisis and biodiversity collapse threaten our very future yet are often sidelined as ‘green’ concerns. Right now in Australia we are witnessing climate change tipping points with the unfolding of an unprecedented bushfire tragedy and ongoing drought in many parts of the country.
We are at a critical moment. Scientists, emergency workers, farmers, tourism operators, regional communities and businesses alike: Australians in all contexts are debating the environmental, social and economic pathway to a safe and bountiful future.
Philanthropy can play a vital role in raising up diverse voices, helping to extend beyond those who are already persuaded, to energise action in our broader communities and businesses.
AT THE TIPPING POINT: Philanthropy’s vital role will consider the key constituencies that need to be part of the movement for change — business and prominent social sectors, rural and regional communities — and explore those critical pathways to change.
Speakers — including innovative funders, environmental leaders and early stage organisations — will explore the roles of community, business and philanthropy as well as opportunities for new approaches.
This is a critical event to inform your environmental giving strategy at a time of unprecedented need. Come along, connect and collaborate with your fellow AEGN members and friends. Learn and share how philanthropy, leadership and influence can drive the essential change needed for the future of our planet and future generations.
