Grassroots to Boardrooms: Social Innovation Partnerships for Climate Adaptation
Concrete avenues for businesses to act on climate change by partnering with leading social innovators.
BRAC is a development organization dedicated to alleviating poverty by empowering the poor and helping them to bring about positive changes in their lives by creating opportunities. The organization's priorities are: focus on women, grassroots empowerment, health and education, farmers' empowerment, inclusive financial services and self-sustaining solutions. Besides Bangladesh, BRAC spreads antipoverty solutions to 10 other developing countries. It reaches an estimated 135 million people and has over 100,000 employees worldwide.
Businesses and corporations, including social innovators, are key to combatting climate change, particularly how it affects marginalized communities.
COP27 could end up being a missed opportunity to tackle climate adaptation unless the public and private sector work together to close the finance gap.
