2021 National Conference

Transform 2021: Bubble-Breaking and Sense-Making from May 25-27, June 1-2 (virtual)

The global pandemic has given the world a glimpse of the challenges that lie ahead for our species in the face of climate change and ecosystem collapse. We have less than a decade to engineer a green recovery, safeguard ecosystem integrity and implement a pathway to net zero, centered in equity and social justice.

As funders, we must build on the progress the environmental movement has realized, while recognizing the need and the opportunity to act with even greater urgency. We must step up, do more, do it quickly and be willing to do things differently.

Transform 2021: Bubble-Breaking and Sense-Making, held over four days in late May and early June, 2021, delivered thought-provoking panel discussions, rich conversations, and clear calls to action. We are hoping it serves as a starting – and not an end – point.
