Description
Climate change, food security, funding collaboratives, and design for development. These are just some of the topics we’ll be discussing in Season Four of The Impact Room. Join Maysa Jalbout in conversation with a diverse line-up of global philanthropists, development leaders, industry experts, and frontline organisations as they share insights and inspiration. With the UAE due to host COP28 at the end of the year, we’ll be applying a climate lens to several of our episodes, looking at the role for philanthropy in helping to improve water and food security, and delivering equitable energy transitions and climate justice. We’ll also be digging into funding collaboratives: what they are, and the pros and cons associated with group giving.  And finally, we’ll be looking at how design can influence development and why how we build things changes the way we interact with our surroundings.  Subscribe now, so you don’t miss an episode.  The Impact Room is brought to you by Philanthropy Age and Maysa Jalbout.
