Ed chats with four movers & shakers in Canadian climate philanthropy.
On Nov. 13, 2024, nine prominent Canadian family foundations, including EvC's David Keith’s, announced a combined pledge of $405 million, all dedicated to accelerating Canada’s shift to a low-carbon economy. They touch on:
- Why this financial commitment occurred and why now
- The challenges facing climate advocacy today and in the near future
- What needs to succeed in the next 3-5 years
- How philanthropy should respond when governments start to roll back key pieces of climate and environmental legislation - just like what we’re seeing already happening in the US post-inauguration.
