Greenwald Speaks at 2018 Concordia Annual Summit
Michael B. Greenwald (Pardee ’07), Lecturer at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was a guest speaker at the Concordia Annual Summit held alongside the UN General Assembly on September 25, 2018.
Greenwald, Senior Vice President and member of the Impact Investment Team for Tiedemann Advisors, spoke as part of a panel entitled “From Millions to Trillion: Scaling Investments for Impact.”
The panel also served as the official launch of the Concordia Innovative Financing Coalition (CIFC) and an opportunity to advance progress around pressing global issues. The CIFC serves as an organizer of Concordia-led discussions related to the deployment, evolution, or establishment of new funding streams directed towards the financing of the SDGs. Concordia will leverage its geographically-diverse programming and membership community to advance both regional-specific funding discussions as well as explore trends within the global ecosystem of innovative financing. The CIFC’s first regional focus is on Latin America, with heightened attention to Colombia and SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, and looks to replicate cross-sectoral dialogue in East Africa in 2019.
The Concordia Annual Summit is the largest and most inclusive nonpartisan forum alongside the United Nations General Assembly. Bringing together decision-makers and opinion-formers in the public, private and nonprofit sectors, as well as the next generation of partnership-builders, the Annual Summit advances critical global discussions and transform conversations into action. The Concordia Annual Summit provides a powerful forum to catalyze action through shared value approaches and social impact objectives.
