About this talk
We are facing immense social and environmental challenges, and these cannot be solved alone by private and public sector. Philanthropy can and must play a virtual role by deploying its limited resources very wisely as innovator, risk-taker, speedboat, convener, catalyst, normative power, etc.
The panel will discuss pitfalls and opportunities of all these essential roles of philanthropy.
