Connect, Share, Shape: Partnership Highlights from NYC Climate Week

Last week, our Executive Director, Dario Soto Abril, brought together our strategic partners for an interactive breakfast that buzzed with ideas, experience and ambition.

Nearly all of our current partners joined the conversation—a rare chance to share strategies, learn from peers leading climate-resilience programmes worldwide, and explore new ways to strengthen collective action.

The discussion surfaced key priorities for the sector:

– More flexible, general support funding
– Stronger connections between donors
– Streamlined due diligence and reporting
– Innovative in-kind support

“These insights will help guide how our Foundation responds to shifting priorities, combats ESG fatigue, and maximises collaboration and impact,” Dario reflected.

Beyond the breakfast, Dario engaged in several other NYCW initiatives, connecting with thought leaders, attending panels on climate innovation, and exploring emerging approaches to sustainable finance. These interactions are helping shape how our Foundation can best support the global climate community, driving collective impact where it matters most.

By listening, learning, and building stronger partnerships, we’re committed to fostering collaboration that moves the needle on climate action.

These insights will help guide how our Foundation responds to shifting priorities, combats ESG fatigue, and maximises collaboration and impact.
