The CGI community is united in its commitment to taking action together. Over the course of the year ahead, there is an opportunity for our actions to not only help address the global challenges we face today, such as rising health and economic disparities, but also to lay the groundwork for a reimagined spirit of partnership and action that is more diverse, equitable, and inclusive than ever before. If the challenges of the past and the last several years of the COVID-19 pandemic have taught us anything, it’s that we are better when we work together, we are more resilient when we support all our community members, and we are most effective when we coordinate and disburse our shared resources. As we go forward to take action, the question becomes: how do we affirm our common humanity, develop deep and cross-cutting partnerships, and center the lived experiences of those on the frontlines of our global challenges at the heart of our collective work?

Since CGI last convened in 2016, the world has dramatically changed. More frequent natural disasters caused by climate change, the largest number of refugees since World War II, and rising inequality in our health and economic systems are just some of the urgent challenges we face as an international community. Even worse, as challenges continue to mount, it feels increasingly harder to break through the gridlock and realize solutions nationally or globally. But for community-based organizations, entrepreneurs, and a new generation of leaders from the frontlines of these challenges, they’ve had no choice but to rise to the moment to creatively forge solutions and demonstrate that progress is possible. As the public sector, private sector and civil society convene in New York City in person again for the first time in years, the question becomes: how do we break through the challenges and gridlock to make a difference in lives around the world?

Young children are among the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. According to UNICEF, about one billion children around the world, nearly half of the world’s children, are at an extremely high risk of experiencing negative effects from climate change, with significant implications for their health, nutrition, education, development, survival, and future. While the challenge is formidable and more research is needed to ascertain climate change’s specific impacts on young children’s developing brains and bodies, there are promising solutions that communities, corporations, and philanthropy are pursuing today. This session will highlight the disproportionate impact climate change is having on young children and families, identify market gaps, and lift up multi-sectoral solutions being explored to address them.

The pandemic has made it more difficult for many around the globe to access learning – from restrictions in schools to families confronting urgent needs at home. However, the recent transition to online learning has also presented us with tools to reimagine the future of learning. Teaching and learning are increasingly happening on the move and outside of physical classrooms – whether due to COVID-19, forced migration, climate disasters, or other crises. Innovative approaches have brought remote learning to refugee camps via text message and radio, expanded access to education technology in rural America, and brought reading materials to everyday environments to encourage parents of young children to talk, read, and sing to promote brain development. The last several years have demonstrated that education does not exist in a vacuum but within a broader context informed by the trauma and disruption of the past few years.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated an existing mental health crisis, particularly among children and young people. The emergence of “climate anxiety,” new and ongoing international conflicts, and widespread use of technology have added to the stressors impacting our youth across the globe. A study last year estimated that one in seven children and adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa have experienced significant psychological challenges, and almost 10 percent qualify for a psychiatric diagnosis. Overdose rates among teens in the United States are on the rise. Youth are facing cultural and infrastructural challenges – from stigma in seeking help to barriers in accessing support – in finding the tools and treatment they need.

Trust is the basis of connection; it is the speed of impact; and it is one of our most basic and increasingly precious human needs. Trust builds friendships, families, communities, institutions, and societies; and it is the connective tissue between them. Its absence – or fracture- can change everything. Join us as we hear from four storytellers, innovators, and changemakers whose stories of tapping into and forging trust have broken down barriers and created new pathways toward connection and impact.

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards have become a critical tool for investors, employees, and customers to hold companies accountable for sustainability and social responsibility. They indicate the strength of a company’s management and probability of long-term financial success, and companies have an incentive to bolster their performance on these metrics. However, there is often uncertainty around how, in practice, we measure corporate social responsibility – the ‘S’ in ESG. Amid this uncertainty, organizations continue to look for opportunities to strengthen their practices and improve their social impact using whatever tools or measures are accessible to them.

More than half of the world’s population currently lives in cities and urban centers, including more than 60 percent of the global refugee population and 80 percent of internally displaced persons. These numbers have increased considerably in recent years, in what the United Nations Population Fund describes as the largest wave of urban growth in history. This growth is expected to continue with greater access to good jobs and innovations in urban living; as well as the effects of climate change, global conflicts and violence. This poses significant challenges, but has also prompted city leaders around the world to pioneer innovative solutions through more affordable housing, efforts to abate air pollution and create low emission zones, and further investments in renewable energy and public transit. The need for inclusive, equitable, and resilient cities is greater than ever.

There has never been a more critical moment for local development in public health, as the COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of a strong local health care workforce, investment in local manufacturing, research and development, and production of medicines and vaccines. According to the Foresight Africa 2022 report, less than 1 percent of all vaccines used in Africa are locally produced, demonstrating the continent’s vulnerability and dependence on foreign supplies. However, governments and allies are beginning to rally around regional initiatives that provide critical local investment and revert control of these health systems to the communities themselves.

The COVID-19 pandemic magnified existing gender inequalities at work and at home. Women were especially vulnerable to employment and income losses and the increasing burden of unpaid work, threatening to reverse decades of progress expanding women’s economic opportunity. The digital gender gap, which has barely improved over the last decade, has further hindered women’s ability to acquire skills and access online employment and financial services. Closing the gaps between men and women in the workplace could increase the global GDP by 26 percent, benefiting both advanced and developing countries, and many of the tools needed to build inclusive economies exist. This session will discuss actions to support gender parity, including policies and programs that support women’s employment, leadership opportunities, recognition of unpaid work, and efforts to close the digital gender divide.

The pandemic has had a devastating impact on small businesses, especially in underserved and underrepresented communities. These populations are already constrained by limited access to capital, lower digital connectivity, and weaker entrepreneurial infrastructure. According to a recent Global Entrepreneurship Monitor survey, women-owned businesses around the world were 20 percent more likely to report a closure due to the pandemic. In the United States, minority-owned businesses also suffered temporary or permanent closures at disproportionately higher rates. However, there are promising signs of entrepreneurial vitality and innovation. The pandemic accelerated the adoption of digital technologies by small businesses, and new business formation is surging, particularly in the United States, where online microbusinesses are booming, fueled by women and people of color.

After decades of progress for women around the globe, there has been a stark reversal of this trend in recent years. Governments around the globe are rolling back rights once taken for granted. Global crises – from the COVID-19 pandemic to climate change – are landing disproportionately on women, in particular women of color and LGBTQ+ communities, and jeopardizing shared gains in economic prosperity and social stability.
Although these setbacks are real, collective action can prevent them from becoming permanent. There are more tools and opportunities than ever before for women across the globe to access education. Studies show women are outperforming men in the classroom, and businesses recognize that their talent pool is increasingly female. Women are gaining roles in leadership positions, while women-owned businesses receive more investment than ever before. Yet critical work remains to restore and advance this progress, with actions for all to contribute. This session will explore how a new wave of female leadership is poised to fight these threats to everyone’s rights and prosperity, and, once and for all, codify a world where women’s rights are human rights.

Since 2020, the global philanthropic community has faced urgent, intersecting needs at a level never before seen. An ongoing pandemic, increasing health and wealth disparities, an urgent reckoning of racial injustices, a worsening global refugee crisis, and worldwide conflicts have all demanded bolder action from funders and forced the philanthropic sector to reckon with questions of its effectiveness, legitimacy, and role in reinforcing structural inequalities. Grantmaking models centered on justice, participation, and trust can help address the inherent power imbalance in the donor-grantee relationship and shift agency to the communities served.

To reach net zero global emissions by 2050 and avert the worst impacts of climate change, the world will need to deploy clean energy technologies much more rapidly. This will require a massive surge in public and private investment across mature, clean technologies and early-stage and breakthrough solutions. Support for clean energy innovation and transition is especially critical for emerging and developing economies as they try to reconcile poverty alleviation and economic growth with global decarbonization goals. Proven strategies – from investment in local research and innovation to knowledge and technology transfer – can help countries advance cleantech solutions tailored to their specific needs and take the lead in determining their own energy future.

This is a critical moment for reproductive and maternal health around the world. In recent years, preventable maternal deaths have increased; global resources devoted to comprehensive reproductive and maternal health have remained woefully inadequate; and access to these critical services is increasingly being threatened and outright curtailed. The recent U.S. Supreme Court decision was a massive setback to reproductive rights and the world is watching to see what will happen next. The pandemic, climate change, and humanitarian crises are worsening already massive inequities that threaten the health and well-being of people around the world. Despite the challenges, partnerships across the private sector, civil society, government, and the advocacy community can lead the vanguard with solutions centered on clinical innovation, policy change, and shifting culture.

The Clinton Global Initiative has a long history of supporting innovators and entrepreneurs from around the world aiming to make a positive difference. In its early days, CGI was one of the first promoters of the role of the private sector in developing innovative solutions that could be brought to scale. At CGI’s 2022 Meeting, we are launching the CGI Greenhouse, programming designed to support socially-minded entrepreneurs and innovators.
More than 100 non-profit and for-profit social impact enterprises applied to be a part of this first-ever CGI Entrepreneurship Greenhouse. At CGI’s 2022 Meeting, the 19 finalists will present to an audience of potential partners and funders including Fortune 500 companies, large private and corporate foundations, family offices, and impact investors ready to implement their products and services. The CGI Entrepreneurship Greenhouse will not only identify opportunities to build out these social impact programs, but also provide operational support and opportunities to showcase their work throughout the meeting.

The continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, rising inflation, and the war in Ukraine have exacerbated global poverty levels. According to the World Bank, between 75 and 95 million people are likely to be pushed into extreme poverty this year, reversing decades of progress on global poverty alleviation. In the face of severe loss of income, social protection measures like direct cash transfers, poverty graduation, and cash plus programs have proven extremely effective in providing fast relief to those facing disruption. Strengthening the social protection infrastructure, and pairing immediate poverty relief with long-term strategies, is key to helping the most affected communities rebound and withstand future shocks.

With increasingly dire forecasts on climate change, companies across the globe have rushed to commit to net zero carbon emissions. However, pledges are not plans, and – despite this wave of good faith – significant obstacles exist for most organizations to reach their targets, including the limits of re-engineering and the pace of implementation of new technologies. The challenges are made more complex – but also more urgent – with the emergence of new laws and regulations under consideration in Europe and the United States.

In the United States, centuries of systemic racial discrimination have locked communities of color out of the tools and opportunities to build generational wealth. These persistent inequities are evident in the country’s entrepreneurial and financial landscape – only 2 percent of businesses with employees are Black-owned, and only 6 percent are Latino-owned. Of all U.S. asset management firms – key wealth creators and allocators – those owned by persons of color control just 0.7 percent of U.S.-based assets under management. Despite heightened awareness of bias and calls for equity and justice, the focus has often been on increasing representation in leadership positions instead of enabling more diverse ownership of the businesses and capital that drive the nation’s economy.

The COVID-19 pandemic put immense strain on an already fragile global health system, and new variants show continued gaps in preparation and containment of infectious diseases. The future of health will be marked by a wide range of challenges, including further infectious disease outbreaks and pandemics; increased disability and death from non-communicable diseases; rising hunger and starvation; inequality and lack of equitable access to health care; and environmental effects and lasting conflicts that impact the health of millions of people. Now is the time to focus on how to better prepare for future disease outbreaks and threats to global health.

Today, 1 in every 78 people on earth has been forced to leave their homes– the highest number on record – due to political persecution, conflict, violence, and climate change. For many others, natural disasters and a lack of housing and public services threaten their ability to stay rooted in their communities. While these trends present both short- and long-term challenges, it prompts an important question – what does it mean to be at “home”?
In this plenary session, speakers will explore how to foster community and belonging in an increasingly unstable world.

As the impacts of climate change worsen, accelerating climate adaptation strategies to the same levels of mitigation has become more urgent and will require increased investment. The Global Commission on Adaptation estimates that investing $1.8 trillion in climate adaptation from 2020 to 2030 could generate $7.1 trillion in total net benefits – in avoided losses, lower risks and improved economic benefits, and social and environmental benefits such as improved biodiversity and cleaner air and water. Climate adaptation measures protect the most vulnerable communities and ecosystems, and make companies more resilient to climate-related environmental and economic shocks.

Established in 2005 by President Bill Clinton, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) convenes global leaders to create and implement solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges. To date, members of the CGI community have made more than 3,700 Commitments to Action that have made a difference in the lives of more than 435 million people in more than 180 countries.
This September, for the first time since 2016, CGI will convene alongside the United Nations General Assembly. During this meeting, more than 1,000 attendees will come together to drive action on climate change, inclusive economic growth, health equity, the refugee crisis, and more.

William Jefferson Clinton, the first Democratic president in six decades to be elected twice, led the U.S. to the longest economic expansion in American history, including the creation of more than 22 million jobs.
After leaving the White House, President Clinton established the Clinton Foundation and Presidential Center with the belief that everyone deserves a chance to succeed, everyone has a responsibility to act, and we all do better when we work together. For more than two decades, those values have driven the Foundation’s efforts to advance leadership and accelerate solutions across the United States and around the world. Flagship programs include the Clinton Global Initiative, which transformed philanthropy and has resulted in more than 4,000 projects and partnerships making a difference for more than 500 million people in 180 countries; the Clinton Health Access Initiative, which changed how the global community procured and delivered life-saving HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria medications — reaching nearly 30 million people worldwide; and, the Clinton Presidential Center and Library, which provides year-round civic education and cultural programming to help inform future generations of leaders to apply lessons from President Clinton’s lifetime in public service to the challenges of today.

The U.S. is encountering the worst drug overdose crisis in its history. More than 108,000 people died from an overdose in 2021, with more than two-thirds of the deaths linked to opioids. Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse an opioid overdose and can be administered easily by nearly anyone with minimal instruction. Join this session, facilitated by Rosalind Pichardo, to learn how to recognize and respond to an opioid overdose with naloxone and hear how she has saved more than 1,000 lives with naloxone. A limited amount of Narcan (nasal-spray form of naloxone) will be distributed to those who complete the training.

The Caribbean faces multiple threats: the region is on the frontlines of climate change, reeling from the devastating health and economic impacts of the pandemic, and under the immense pressure of rising inflation and debt.
Investing in the revitalization and diversification of the Caribbean’s economic fabric, strengthening local and regional health systems, and building climate adaptation capacity and resilience to future disasters will be critical to move the region from vulnerability to opportunity.

Since CGI last convened in 2016, the world has dramatically changed. More frequent natural disasters caused by climate change, the largest number of refugees since World War II, and rising inequality in our health and economic systems are just some of the urgent challenges we face as an international community. Even worse, as challenges continue to mount, it feels increasingly harder to break through the gridlock and realize solutions nationally or globally. But for community-based organizations, entrepreneurs, and a new generation of leaders from the frontlines of these challenges, they’ve had no choice but to rise to the moment to creatively forge solutions and demonstrate that progress is possible. As the public sector, private sector and civil society convene in New York City in person again for the first time in years, the question becomes: how do we break through the challenges and gridlock to make a difference in lives around the world?
Speakers
The COVID-19 pandemic put immense strain on an already fragile global health system, and new variants show continued gaps in preparation and containment of infectious diseases. The future of health will be marked by a wide range of challenges, including further infectious disease outbreaks and pandemics; increased disability and death from non-communicable diseases; rising hunger and starvation; inequality and lack of equitable access to health care; and environmental effects and lasting conflicts that impact the health of millions of people. Now is the time to focus on how to better prepare for future disease outbreaks and threats to global health.

In the United States, centuries of systemic racial discrimination have locked communities of color out of the tools and opportunities to build generational wealth. These persistent inequities are evident in the country’s entrepreneurial and financial landscape – only 2 percent of businesses with employees are Black-owned, and only 6 percent are Latino-owned. Of all U.S. asset management firms – key wealth creators and allocators – those owned by persons of color control just 0.7 percent of U.S.-based assets under management. Despite heightened awareness of bias and calls for equity and justice, the focus has often been on increasing representation in leadership positions instead of enabling more diverse ownership of the businesses and capital that drive the nation’s economy.

With increasingly dire forecasts on climate change, companies across the globe have rushed to commit to net zero carbon emissions. However, pledges are not plans, and – despite this wave of good faith – significant obstacles exist for most organizations to reach their targets, including the limits of re-engineering and the pace of implementation of new technologies. The challenges are made more complex – but also more urgent – with the emergence of new laws and regulations under consideration in Europe and the United States.

The continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, rising inflation, and the war in Ukraine have exacerbated global poverty levels. According to the World Bank, between 75 and 95 million people are likely to be pushed into extreme poverty this year, reversing decades of progress on global poverty alleviation. In the face of severe loss of income, social protection measures like direct cash transfers, poverty graduation, and cash plus programs have proven extremely effective in providing fast relief to those facing disruption. Strengthening the social protection infrastructure, and pairing immediate poverty relief with long-term strategies, is key to helping the most affected communities rebound and withstand future shocks.

The Clinton Global Initiative has a long history of supporting innovators and entrepreneurs from around the world aiming to make a positive difference. In its early days, CGI was one of the first promoters of the role of the private sector in developing innovative solutions that could be brought to scale. At CGI’s 2022 Meeting, we are launching the CGI Greenhouse, programming designed to support socially-minded entrepreneurs and innovators.
More than 100 non-profit and for-profit social impact enterprises applied to be a part of this first-ever CGI Entrepreneurship Greenhouse. At CGI’s 2022 Meeting, the 19 finalists will present to an audience of potential partners and funders including Fortune 500 companies, large private and corporate foundations, family offices, and impact investors ready to implement their products and services. The CGI Entrepreneurship Greenhouse will not only identify opportunities to build out these social impact programs, but also provide operational support and opportunities to showcase their work throughout the meeting.
With economic upheaval, stresses on public health infrastructure, and the COVID-19 pandemic creating gaps in communities’ support systems, people with substance use disorders are facing tougher struggles, and deaths due to drugs, alcohol, and suicide have reached record highs in the United States. As this problem has worsened, well-intentioned but siloed efforts to address addiction and overdose have led to disjointed approaches. However, glimmers of hope have begun to emerge in local communities as police, fire, and EMS respond to overdoses with mental health and addiction counselors in tow; peer recovery coaches proactively engage people in emergency rooms; and workplaces become “recovery friendly.” Across a variety of sectors, a reckoning has begun – the realization that they cannot solve these challenges on their own.

Against a backdrop of accelerating change and increasing uncertainty, the wellbeing and resilience of organizations and communities of all sorts depends on our collective ability to think deeply and diversely about the issues shaping our lives, and where they could be going. The emerging practices of “experiential futures” are a synthesis of design and foresight skills, helping us imagine how possible, probable and preferable futures might look and feel to inhabit. They are being used increasingly by organizations around the world, to support more creative, robust and innovative engagement with the decisions that matter today. At this playful workshop you will rapidly prototype experiential future scenarios with other CGI attendees. You’ll learn how to scaffold your imagination and explore potential shifts around some of the issues you care most about, while getting to know other participants at the event, and having fun in the process.
This is a critical moment for reproductive and maternal health around the world. In recent years, preventable maternal deaths have increased; global resources devoted to comprehensive reproductive and maternal health have remained woefully inadequate; and access to these critical services is increasingly being threatened and outright curtailed. The recent U.S. Supreme Court decision was a massive setback to reproductive rights and the world is watching to see what will happen next. The pandemic, climate change, and humanitarian crises are worsening already massive inequities that threaten the health and well-being of people around the world. Despite the challenges, partnerships across the private sector, civil society, government, and the advocacy community can lead the vanguard with solutions centered on clinical innovation, policy change, and shifting culture.

To reach net zero global emissions by 2050 and avert the worst impacts of climate change, the world will need to deploy clean energy technologies much more rapidly. This will require a massive surge in public and private investment across mature, clean technologies and early-stage and breakthrough solutions. Support for clean energy innovation and transition is especially critical for emerging and developing economies as they try to reconcile poverty alleviation and economic growth with global decarbonization goals. Proven strategies – from investment in local research and innovation to knowledge and technology transfer – can help countries advance cleantech solutions tailored to their specific needs and take the lead in determining their own energy future.

Since 2020, the global philanthropic community has faced urgent, intersecting needs at a level never before seen. An ongoing pandemic, increasing health and wealth disparities, an urgent reckoning of racial injustices, a worsening global refugee crisis, and worldwide conflicts have all demanded bolder action from funders and forced the philanthropic sector to reckon with questions of its effectiveness, legitimacy, and role in reinforcing structural inequalities. Grantmaking models centered on justice, participation, and trust can help address the inherent power imbalance in the donor-grantee relationship and shift agency to the communities served.
Speakers
The pandemic has had a devastating impact on small businesses, especially in underserved and underrepresented communities. These populations are already constrained by limited access to capital, lower digital connectivity, and weaker entrepreneurial infrastructure. According to a recent Global Entrepreneurship Monitor survey, women-owned businesses around the world were 20 percent more likely to report a closure due to the pandemic. In the United States, minority-owned businesses also suffered temporary or permanent closures at disproportionately higher rates. However, there are promising signs of entrepreneurial vitality and innovation. The pandemic accelerated the adoption of digital technologies by small businesses, and new business formation is surging, particularly in the United States, where online microbusinesses are booming, fueled by women and people of color.
Speakers
After decades of progress for women around the globe, there has been a stark reversal of this trend in recent years. Governments around the globe are rolling back rights once taken for granted. Global crises – from the COVID-19 pandemic to climate change – are landing disproportionately on women, in particular women of color and LGBTQ+ communities, and jeopardizing shared gains in economic prosperity and social stability.
Although these setbacks are real, collective action can prevent them from becoming permanent. There are more tools and opportunities than ever before for women across the globe to access education. Studies show women are outperforming men in the classroom, and businesses recognize that their talent pool is increasingly female. Women are gaining roles in leadership positions, while women-owned businesses receive more investment than ever before. Yet critical work remains to restore and advance this progress, with actions for all to contribute. This session will explore how a new wave of female leadership is poised to fight these threats to everyone’s rights and prosperity, and, once and for all, codify a world where women’s rights are human rights.
Speakers
Young children are among the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. According to UNICEF, about one billion children around the world, nearly half of the world’s children, are at an extremely high risk of experiencing negative effects from climate change, with significant implications for their health, nutrition, education, development, survival, and future. While the challenge is formidable and more research is needed to ascertain climate change’s specific impacts on young children’s developing brains and bodies, there are promising solutions that communities, corporations, and philanthropy are pursuing today. This session will highlight the disproportionate impact climate change is having on young children and families, identify market gaps, and lift up multi-sectoral solutions being explored to address them.

The COVID-19 pandemic magnified existing gender inequalities at work and at home. Women were especially vulnerable to employment and income losses and the increasing burden of unpaid work, threatening to reverse decades of progress expanding women’s economic opportunity. The digital gender gap, which has barely improved over the last decade, has further hindered women’s ability to acquire skills and access online employment and financial services. Closing the gaps between men and women in the workplace could increase the global GDP by 26 percent, benefiting both advanced and developing countries, and many of the tools needed to build inclusive economies exist. This session will discuss actions to support gender parity, including policies and programs that support women’s employment, leadership opportunities, recognition of unpaid work, and efforts to close the digital gender divide.

Today, 1 in every 78 people on earth has been forced to leave their homes– the highest number on record – due to political persecution, conflict, violence, and climate change. For many others, natural disasters and a lack of housing and public services threaten their ability to stay rooted in their communities. While these trends present both short- and long-term challenges, it prompts an important question – what does it mean to be at “home”?
In this plenary session, speakers will explore how to foster community and belonging in an increasingly unstable world.
Speakers
There has never been a more critical moment for local development in public health, as the COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of a strong local health care workforce, investment in local manufacturing, research and development, and production of medicines and vaccines. According to the Foresight Africa 2022 report, less than 1 percent of all vaccines used in Africa are locally produced, demonstrating the continent’s vulnerability and dependence on foreign supplies. However, governments and allies are beginning to rally around regional initiatives that provide critical local investment and revert control of these health systems to the communities themselves.

More than half of the world’s population currently lives in cities and urban centers, including more than 60 percent of the global refugee population and 80 percent of internally displaced persons. These numbers have increased considerably in recent years, in what the United Nations Population Fund describes as the largest wave of urban growth in history. This growth is expected to continue with greater access to good jobs and innovations in urban living; as well as the effects of climate change, global conflicts and violence. This poses significant challenges, but has also prompted city leaders around the world to pioneer innovative solutions through more affordable housing, efforts to abate air pollution and create low emission zones, and further investments in renewable energy and public transit. The need for inclusive, equitable, and resilient cities is greater than ever.

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards have become a critical tool for investors, employees, and customers to hold companies accountable for sustainability and social responsibility. They indicate the strength of a company’s management and probability of long-term financial success, and companies have an incentive to bolster their performance on these metrics. However, there is often uncertainty around how, in practice, we measure corporate social responsibility – the ‘S’ in ESG. Amid this uncertainty, organizations continue to look for opportunities to strengthen their practices and improve their social impact using whatever tools or measures are accessible to them.

First came the historic drought in Africa, China, and Europe, exacerbated by global warming and lowering crop yields. Then came a global pandemic, disrupting the global supply chain of critical agricultural trade. The war in Ukraine followed with two consequences: the cost of oil has doubled prices for fertilizer, and a blockade of Ukraine’s grain has reduced supplies to Africa, the Middle East, and Asia by half. As a result of these issues, more than 276 million people around the world are at risk of acute food insecurity. This number is twice as high as it was three years ago, leading to what the World Food Program is calling a “hunger catastrophe.” As global supply chains and traditional farming practices have been increasingly disrupted by the effects of climate change and geopolitical events, there are urgent needs to adopt climate-smart, regenerative, and indigenous agricultural practices around the world and to help create equitable and sustainable access to nutritious food.

President Clinton often speaks about how storytelling has been critical to his personal journey: “Growing up in Arkansas just after World War II in a family that didn’t have a lot of money, most of our entertainment revolved around storytelling. Listening to my relatives and neighbors tell stories showed me that everyone has a story, and that everyone’s story has value. When I got into politics, I always thought that the main point of my work was to give people a chance to have better stories. And after I left office, that same purpose led me to start the Clinton Foundation.”
Building on President Clinton’s ability to harness the power of storytelling, Story Studio seeks to use stories to ignite future action within the CGI community. Set in a more informal and relaxed space, the Story Studio cultivates a unique opportunity to hear inspirational stories from trailblazers, gridlock busters, innovators, and those on the frontlines of our biggest common challenges. Attendees at CGI’s 2022 Meeting are invited to join these Story Studio sessions to hear the experiences and personal journeys that illuminate the complex challenges we face and the solutions and actions we strive to take.
Join six-time Peabody Award and MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship recipient, Dave Isay for a conversation discussing the unique power stories hold in the pursuit of breaking gridlock.

Science and technology allow us to overcome our human limitations and enhance our capacity to survive and thrive in the world. In the last decades, science and technology have become central to the solutions to many of our global challenges, including the potential to connect people and access information in ways that were unimaginable before. This session will feature stories of people who have used science and technology to improve the human condition, overcoming personal barriers and societal obstacles in the process.
Trust is the basis of connection; it is the speed of impact; and it is one of our most basic and increasingly precious human needs. Trust builds friendships, families, communities, institutions, and societies; and it is the connective tissue between them. Its absence – or fracture- can change everything. Join us as we hear from four storytellers, innovators, and changemakers whose stories of tapping into and forging trust have broken down barriers and created new pathways toward connection and impact.
Speakers
Through Culture and Ingenuity we have the power to transcend stalemate and gridlock by changing the way we see the world one subtle perception at a time. They challenge the given and can crack open cemented opinions, questioning problematic views and exposing what is often hidden. In this segment of Story Studio, audiences will hear short stories from a diverse group of innovators and trailblazers that illuminate how through ingenuity and culture we can help bridge gaps, inspire us to embrace our differences, and expand our horizons.

The Clinton Global Initiative is proud to host the Global Finals of the 2022 Hult Prize. Through their year-long social entrepreneurship competition, more than 100,000 young people in 120 countries work to create high-impact startups that address the annual Call to Action in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The 2022 topic is Getting the World Back to Work, where students are challenged to develop businesses that will provide employment for at least 2,000 people by 2024. The six finalists will pitch their businesses to a panel of expert judges, and the winning team will receives $1M USD in funding to make their idea a reality.
Speakers
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated an existing mental health crisis, particularly among children and young people. The emergence of “climate anxiety,” new and ongoing international conflicts, and widespread use of technology have added to the stressors impacting our youth across the globe. A study last year estimated that one in seven children and adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa have experienced significant psychological challenges, and almost 10 percent qualify for a psychiatric diagnosis. Overdose rates among teens in the United States are on the rise. Youth are facing cultural and infrastructural challenges – from stigma in seeking help to barriers in accessing support – in finding the tools and treatment they need.

The pandemic has made it more difficult for many around the globe to access learning – from restrictions in schools to families confronting urgent needs at home. However, the recent transition to online learning has also presented us with tools to reimagine the future of learning. Teaching and learning are increasingly happening on the move and outside of physical classrooms – whether due to COVID-19, forced migration, climate disasters, or other crises. Innovative approaches have brought remote learning to refugee camps via text message and radio, expanded access to education technology in rural America, and brought reading materials to everyday environments to encourage parents of young children to talk, read, and sing to promote brain development. The last several years have demonstrated that education does not exist in a vacuum but within a broader context informed by the trauma and disruption of the past few years.

Speakers
As the impacts of climate change worsen, accelerating climate adaptation strategies to the same levels of mitigation has become more urgent and will require increased investment. The Global Commission on Adaptation estimates that investing $1.8 trillion in climate adaptation from 2020 to 2030 could generate $7.1 trillion in total net benefits – in avoided losses, lower risks and improved economic benefits, and social and environmental benefits such as improved biodiversity and cleaner air and water. Climate adaptation measures protect the most vulnerable communities and ecosystems, and make companies more resilient to climate-related environmental and economic shocks.

The CGI community is united in its commitment to taking action together. Over the course of the year ahead, there is an opportunity for our actions to not only help address the global challenges we face today, such as rising health and economic disparities, but also to lay the groundwork for a reimagined spirit of partnership and action that is more diverse, equitable, and inclusive than ever before. If the challenges of the past and the last several years of the COVID-19 pandemic have taught us anything, it’s that we are better when we work together, we are more resilient when we support all our community members, and we are most effective when we coordinate and disburse our shared resources. As we go forward to take action, the question becomes: how do we affirm our common humanity, develop deep and cross-cutting partnerships, and center the lived experiences of those on the frontlines of our global challenges at the heart of our collective work?

Founder and Board Chair, Clinton Foundation and 42nd President of the United States
William Jefferson Clinton, the first Democratic president in six decades to be elected twice, led the U.S. to the longest economic expansion in American history, including the creation of more than 22 million jobs.
After leaving the White House, President Clinton established the Clinton Foundation and Presidential Center with the belief that everyone deserves a chance to succeed, everyone has a responsibility to act, and we all do better when we work together. For more than two decades, those values have driven the Foundation’s efforts to advance leadership and accelerate solutions across the United States and around the world. Flagship programs include the Clinton Global Initiative, which transformed philanthropy and has resulted in more than 4,000 projects and partnerships making a difference for more than 500 million people in 180 countries; the Clinton Health Access Initiative, which changed how the global community procured and delivered life-saving HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria medications — reaching nearly 30 million people worldwide; and, the Clinton Presidential Center and Library, which provides year-round civic education and cultural programming to help inform future generations of leaders to apply lessons from President Clinton’s lifetime in public service to the challenges of today.
President Clinton and Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton have one daughter, Chelsea, and live in Chappaqua, New York.

A longtime public health advocate, Chelsea also serves as vice chair of the Clinton Health Access Initiative and uses her platform to increase awareness around issues such as vaccine hesitancy, childhood obesity, and health equity.
In addition to her Foundation work, Chelsea teaches at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health and has written several books for young readers, including the #1 New York Times bestseller She Persisted: 13 American Women Who Changed the World as well as She Persisted Around the World, She Persisted in Sports, She Persisted in Science, Start Now! You Can Make a Difference; Don’t Let Them Disappear; It’s Your World: Get Informed, Get Inspired & Get Going; and Welcome to the Big Kids Club. She is also the co-author of The Book of Gutsy Women and Grandma’s Gardens with Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton and of Governing Global Health: Who Runs the World and Why? with Devi Sridhar.
