THE CLIMATE SALON

The challenges we face due to climate change are profound and complex, impacting all aspects of our societies and economies. Yet, with these challenges come enormous opportunities - opportunities to create new industries, develop innovative technologies, and build a resilient, sustainable world that serves us all, now and in the future.

Family offices have emerged as a significant force in financing change and innovation. Last year, as innovation investors, they represented 10% of venture capital deals and 30% of the total capital deployed. As philanthropic investors, their family foundations alone constitute an impressive $294 billion, about 44% of all US foundation holdings. Furthermore, as frontline, impact-first investors, family offices have played a substantial role in the $144 billion in assets managed by the 833 community foundations across the U.S. 

​

Despite the considerable influence of family offices, their investments in climate solutions remain largely uncharted. From filling financial gaps to fostering technological innovation, family offices are uniquely positioned as stewards of substantial resources and influence.

 

Join us for the 2023 Climate Salon in Miami, a nexus of climate change and culture, providing the fitting backdrop for our essential discussions on climate investment. At this invite-only, intimate gathering, families and foundations will come together to explore their pivotal roles in steering capital towards sustainable and resilient futures. Often considered ground zero for climate change, Miami blossoms into a hub for art and culture in December, making it the perfect venue for this timely dialogue. The Salon will spotlight a curated selection of climate investments, showcase peer-led strategies, and illuminate the paths by which participants can become influential change-makers. The Salon culminates in an exclusive VIP reception at Art Basel, featuring a specially curated tour of climate-focused artists and creators.

 

The Miami Climate Salon is more than an event; it's a call to action for family offices and foundations, setting the stage for global change and sustainability.
