JUST/GREEN FUNDERS

Meeting, June 25, 2008

Wallace Global Fund

 Purpose:  To provide space for a funder dialog on poverty, justice and climate

 Method:  Each participant takes responsibility for facilitating one segment of the conversation

 Agenda: 

  8:30 Arrivals, continental breakfast

  9:00 Welcome and Introductions

   9:15 Definitions: What is just/green?  How do we define the scope of the concept and the conversation? 

10:00 Intersections: What other leaders and communities (e.g. EJ, Human Rights, social justice, health, faith, civil rights etc. ) need to be brought in to the conversation?

11:00 Policy Solutions: If regulation/cap & trade are not sufficient, what else do we want to consider?

 12:00 How does the U.S. work connect to global solutions?

12:30 Lunch

1:00 Mapping the field – who’s funding what, where? Presentation of Wiser Earth map of organizations supporting local efforts.  Who are our funder allies?

 2:00 Core Principles – what are the key elements of a just/green approach to public policy?

 3:00 Nuts & Bolts – Is rhetorical success ahead of actual accomplishment?  Where are the gaps?  Where are the best models being developed? 

3:30 Next steps

 Guiding questions:

- What defines the group of funders?

- What's the common agenda when we think about equitable pathways to sustainability

- Who's doing what, where and with whom?

- Do we have a common focus?

- How to make the case for equity and to whom?:
