How Innovative Organizations are Driving Impact
On October 21, 2021, Reos Partners Managing Director Joe McCarron hosted a conversation with three organizational leaders — working in different parts of the world and at different scales — who are turning strategies into real practice to drive impactful climate action. They all recognize that building cross-sector partnerships is at the center of accelerating effective change.
In the roundtable discussion Climate Action Requires Collaborative Action, the panelists offered key insights on how to:
- leverage cooperation to meaningfully influence systemic change; and
- transform ideas into real practices that are good for people and the planet
