A forum on Impact Investment, Equitable Economic Development and Climate Resilience.
His Eminence Cardinal Peter Turkson, Chancellor of the Vatican's Pontifical Academies of Sciences and Social Sciences and one of the world's most respected global leaders on climate, economic development, and equity in conversation with Congresswoman Lateefah Simon, Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee, and California Secretary of Transportation Toks Omishakin.
The forum is intended not merely as a convening, but as a showcase of the courageous and visionary leadership, partnerships, and practical deployment of innovation required to produce resilient and inclusive economic change. This includes expanding connectivity and energy access, advancing climate sustainability, and increasing participation in economic growth for underinvested communities and communities facing climate and economic disruption in both California and Africa.
A rare convergence of global leadership advancing major infrastructure, innovation, sustainable development, equity, and impact investment at scale between Africa and California.
