New York Dialogues
BCIU’s inaugural New York Dialogues is a global event dedicated to fostering communication, problem solving and international understanding. The program brings together global leaders from the private sector, government, and civil society for inspiring conversations to forge global solutions to today’s most pressing challenges in healthcare, food security and the energy transition. The first dialogue focused on global health security, and the second focused on the need for partnerships for achieving food security as well as trends in sustainable farming practices. The final dialogue addressed the negative impact of climate change, transitioning carbon assets, and net zero investing.
