Organizer: Leadership Now Project

Location: Virtual

Join Congressman Sean Casten, professors Mary-Hunter McDonnell from Wharton and Thomas Lyon from the University of Michigan, and moderator Shruti Mehrotra of the Soros Foundation, for a discussion on the role of a well-functioning democracy in solving our climate crisis and how business can support these solutions.

The majority of Americans support government action on climate change, but the political system lacks the ability to respond quickly and address the crisis. Business can choose to be a barrier or an enabler to political climate action. So what can business leaders do differently to drive progress and problem solve now?

This event is hosted by the Leadership Now Project, a membership organization of business leaders taking collective action to strengthen American democracy.
