COP28 Funders , Pledge $2.1 Billion , to Reducing Climate Impacts.
ABC reports that foundations and other funders vowed to
step up their contributions to combating climate impacts,
with a focus on agriculture and vulnerable communities.
The promise comes in the wrap-up
of the United Nations climate talks
in Dubai, the COP28.
The summit reportedly contained a number
of firsts, including forums on food
production, health and philanthropy.
The honest answer is that
the global health community,
including us, was so focused
on COVID-19, that we probably
didn’t pay enough attention to all
the signs of what climate change
was doing to global health, Peter Sands, CEO of the Global Fund, via 'The Independent'.
The summit also saw the first Business & Philanthropy
forum, which COP28 leaders hoped would
help increase funding from the private sector.

The government still has to act.
If we’re not reducing and eliminating
the production of carbon with our
energy sources, no matter how
much philanthropy invests, we will
never be able to dig out of the hole, Christie Ulman, president of the Sequoia
Climate Foundation, via 'The Independent'.
