UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY + CLIMATE WEEK — NYC (Part 1 of 2)

Had a fantastic week in New York during UN General Assembly and Climate Week, attending two gatherings centered around innovation, impact, and the future of capital.

The New York Innovation Forum for Sustainable Development was a two-day invitation-only convening hosted by @peaceboatus, @emilie_mcglone, @welchinternational at 777 United Nations Plaza bringing together leaders across business, government, investment, philanthropy, technology, civil society, and international organizations. The focus was on accelerating partnerships and scalable solutions aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

I also co-hosted the Family Office Forum Impact Investor Luncheon (sponsored by the New York Innovation Forum) with @jonathanbarry.now, which was an intimate gathering of just 70 family office principals, investors, philanthropists, and global leaders exploring how long-term capital can help shape the future of communities and our planet. The conversation centered on stewardship, impact investing, philanthropy, emerging technologies, and where family capital can create meaningful long-term value.

What I appreciated most was the convergence of worlds that too often operate separately… capital, technology, policy, philanthropy, community, and planetary stewardship.

These are exactly the conversations we need as we think about what we build next… and who benefits from it.

Grateful for the conversations, connections, and new relationships formed in New York.

Loved all the drop-ins with @richiehosein, @michaelgraziano, @adisoozin, @dannykaufmanofficial, @welchinternational, @emilie_mcglone, @peaceboatus ,, @jonathanbarry.now , @don_lourenso , @downwithg @amazingkwasi

And the Founder of LEEDS, Robert K. Watson(group pic out front) was especially fruitful.
