Clinton Global Initiative 2026 Annual Meeting: Day Two

President Clinton, Secretary Clinton, and Dr. Chelsea Clinton will convene the Annual Meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative on September 22-23, 2026, in New York City, bringing together leaders from business, government, and civil society for a meeting focused on what’s working, and how we can bridge divides to solve our most urgent crises.

Day One | Day Two

Below is the agenda of public sessions. Private working sessions are held simultaneously. Breakfast begins at 7:30 am.

8:45 am - 10:15 am

Mainstage Session: Getting Disruption Right

From breakthroughs reshaping health outcomes, democracies, the global economy, and our environment, the innovation landscape is moving fast — and there’s real reason for excitement and hope. But as new technologies and strategies solve for legacy problems, they inevitably surface new ones. Transformative disruption at its best doesn’t just move fast and break things; it replaces systems that no longer serve us with ones that actually work.

This session explores the tension at the heart of innovation: how do we push boldly into the unknown while staying anchored to safety and ethics? Where does responsibility lie — with innovators, institutions, or the systems built to govern them — when the stakes are this high? And what separates disruption that builds trust from disruption that erodes it?

Together we’ll hear from the innovators as well as the institutional voices who are navigating the growing need to both fuel and govern change, to understand what it will take to get it right as the pace and complexity of disruption keep accelerating.

Participants

  • Wendy Abrams Co-Founder and CEO, Eleven Eleven Foundation
  • Martin Edlund Co-Founder & CEO, BillionScale Health
  • Prince Harry Duke of Sussex
  • Reid Hoffman Co-Founder, LinkedIn
  • Greg Jackson Founder & CEO, Octopus Energy Group
  • Paul Polman Business Leader, Investor, Philanthropist
  • Karlee Silver CEO, Grand Challenges Canada
  • Navrina Singh Founder & CEO, Credo AI

10:30 am - 11:30 am

Leaders Stage

Powering Scientific Breakthroughs

From climate change to infectious diseases, chronic illness, and food security, many of the world’s greatest challenges will only be solved through scientific discovery. With so much at stake, our progress can’t be incremental: it will demand leapfrog breakthroughs, moonshot projects, and disruptive technologies. Yet just as the need for scientific innovation has never been greater, public investment in research is facing growing uncertainty. In the United States, billions of dollars in federal funding have been cut or frozen, delaying life-saving medical research, slowing clinical trials, disrupting climate science, and threatening the pipeline of future discoveries. As we envision a global future teeming with possibility rather than constraint, how can we sustain and scale scientific breakthroughs against our current backdrop? In this session, join leaders from science, government, philanthropy, and industry who are working to collaboratively forge the future we deserve.

Participants

  • Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali President, Cooperative Republic of Guyana
  • Dr. Kate Marvel Senior Climate Scientist, Project Drawdown
  • Bill Nye Science Educator
  • John-Arne Røttingen CEO, Wellcome Trust

10:30 am - 11:15 am

CGI Conversations Session

The Inside Game: Partnering with Gen Z for Global Change Gen Z is the most activist generation alive and now accounts for nearly 30% of the global workforce, but their trust in legacy institutions is low. We’ll explore what earns this generation’s trust and how to partner with them effectively to build systems that deliver and sustain.

11:30 am - 12:15 pm

CGI Conversations Session

Europe at a Turning Point: Strengthening Security, Solidarity, and Trust Europe is navigating a more complex geopolitical landscape, but the continents strength lies in its ability to adapt, collaborate, and build new forms of collective action. This conversation will explore how governments, multilateral institutions, and philanthropy can reinforce the relationships and institutions that enable Europe to act together, from security and support for Ukraine to cooperation across borders.

Participants

  • Vjosa Osmani Sixth President, The Republic of Kosovo
  • Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya Belarusian Political Activist

12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Leaders Stage

Backing the Builders

Around the world, women, young people, entrepreneurs, and community leaders are developing innovative solutions to strengthen economies, improve health, expand opportunity, and tackle some of society’s toughest challenges. The question is no longer whether community-led solutions work. The question is whether philanthropy, government, investors, and civil society are prepared to back them with the trust, capital, and long-term partnerships they need to grow. This session will explore how institutions can move beyond funding individual projects to investing in the people, partnerships, and ecosystems that make lasting change possible.

Participants

  • Uzo Aduba Actor, Producer
  • Mathilda D’Silva CEO, Ocean Purpose Project
  • James Mwangi CEO, Equity Group Holdings
  • Sonya Passi Founder & CEO, FreeForm
  • Gretchen Whitmer Governor, State Of Michigan (D)

1:00 pm - 1:45 pm

CGI Conversations Session

Borrowed Trust: Building Impact with Creators

Participants

  • Aaron Parnas Independent Journalist, The Parnas Perspective
  • Olivia Richman Founder & Physician, DocFluencer, MDO

2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Leaders Stage

Rewriting the Humanitarian Playbook

Humanitarian needs are growing far faster than the resources available to meet them, requiring a fundamental reimagining of how aid is financed, delivered, and sustained. As traditional funding sources have been dramatically scaled back, humanitarian organizations have developed new models to deliver more effective, efficient, and sustainable responses, with a new generation of leaders driving innovation across the sector. In this session, speakers will explore how the international community has adapted to this new environment, the institutions and leaders playing an expanded role in responding to disasters and investing in long-term recovery, and what it will take to get humanitarian action right for a new era while building a more resilient system for the future.

Participants

  • Ingrid-Gabriela Hoven Managing Director, GIZ
  • Sidsel Marie Kristensen CEO, The LEGO Foundation
  • David Miliband President and CEO, International Rescue Committee

2:00 pm - 2:45 pm

CGI Conversations Session

Women’s Health: Realizing the Opportunity We Can No Longer Ignore Closing the women’s health gap is a no-brainer — but investment still lags and barriers persist. We’ll explore who is moving the needle, how they’re doing it, and the work that remains to improve health outcomes throughout a woman’s life course.

Participants

  • Dr. Chelsea Clinton Vice Chair, Clinton Foundation
  • Pauline Koelbl Founder & CEO, ShEquity Partners
  • Eleni Kounalakis Lieutenant Governor, State of California

3:15 pm - 4:00 pm

CGI Conversations Session

The Power Within: Harnessing Resilient Leadership Leaders don’t always get to choose their circumstances — but they do choose how they respond. We’ll discuss candidly how emotional intelligence holds up under pressure and what resilience looks like when it has to survive more than a single setback.

Participants

  • Kate Bowler Associate Professor of American Religious History, Duke University
  • Marc Brackett Professor & Director, Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence
  • Vjosa Osmani Sixth President, The Republic of Kosovo
  • Chantale Zuzi Founder & Executive Director, Refugee Can Be

3:30 pm - 4:15 pm

Leaders Stage

Selling the Mission

What happens when social impact isn’t something added to a business but the reason the business exists in the first place? This session will bring together leaders of for-profit social impact businesses that have embedded purpose into the core of how they operate – from what they produce to how they grow, create value, and tell the story of their success. At a time when trust is currency and a scarce asset, these leaders have built businesses where purpose is not just a tagline but practiced. Through the lens of their work, speakers will explore broader lessons for the social impact community: what it takes to build organizations where mission and model are inseparable, how authentic purpose can shape the way organizations engage communities and build trust, and how values can become additive rather than illustrative. As trust in institutions declines, speakers will share strategies and lessons that leaders across nonprofits, philanthropy, and business can apply to communicate purpose more effectively, deepen engagement, and translate mission into lasting impact and loyalty.

Participants

  • Andy Hunter Founder & CEO, Bookshop.org
  • Greg Propper Partner, Bully Pulpit International
  • Jochanan Senf CEO, Ben & Jerry’s
  • Monika Shukla Co-founder & CEO, Humble Bee
  • Elaine Welteroth Founder, birthFUND

4:30 pm - 6:00 pm

Mainstage Session: The Optimism Strategy

Optimism is not the denial of reality. It is the conviction that the future is still ours to shape.

Progress has always depended on people willing to act before success is guaranteed. Leaders and organizations that have moved the needle on the world’s greatest challenges share this mindset. They continue to focus on the work even long after urgency has faded from the headlines. They understand the work happening today, however invisible or slow, is laying the foundation for what’s possible tomorrow.

Throughout this Annual Meeting, we have explored what it takes to get things right: building unlikely partnerships, asking better questions, expanding opportunity, and turning bold ideas into practical solutions. The challenges facing our world remain immense but so does our capacity to meet them.

As the Annual Meeting comes to a close, this session is a reminder that CGI has never been defined by the conversations that happen on stage but by the commitments that leave the room. Join trailblazers, innovators, and experts who have demonstrated what becomes possible when optimism is paired with action — and leave with a renewed sense of purpose to help shape a future that is more prosperous, more sustainable, and more just than the one we see today.

Book Talk: Soup Throwers and Super Gluers: Inside Europe's Climate Uprising

Join four European climate activists from the A22 Network for an in-person conversation about direct action, civil resistance, and the future of the climate movement, followed by a workshop. This event is in partnership with the Center for Nonviolent Conflict Research and Sunrise NYC.

The featured book SOUP THROWERS AND SUPER GLUERS: INSIDE EUROPE’S CLIMATE UPRISING (out September 1) will be available for purchase and signing.

This event is a $5 suggested donation ticket with a maximum of 30 attendees. Please register in advance.

In compliance with Word Up Community Safety guidelines, all attendees are encouraged to stay masked at all time.

Word Up Community Bookshop/Libreria Communitaria is located at 2113 Amsterdam Avenue (corner of 165th Street) in Manhattan. Subways: A, C or #1 train to 168th Street (walk south to 165th St, turn left, then walk east to Amsterdam Avenue).

FEATURING Carla Hinrichs (climate activist, co-founder and spokesperson for Letzte Generation, Germany) grew up in Bremen, northern Germany. From a young age, a sense of urgency about the state of the world drew her to Amnesty International and later to law school. In 2019, she joined Extinction Rebellion, convinced the climate crisis couldn’t wait until she graduated. She began supporting the hunger strike her friends launched ahead of the 2021 election, and then became fully part of Last Generation. By nature, she is someone who prefers libraries to megaphones. She became a spokesperson anyway. Today, she is accused of being the leader of the so-called criminal organisation Last Generation and is facing a long court case, which could result in up to five years in prison. In February 2026, she published her first book, Meine verletzte Generation.

Henning Jeschke (Climate activist and co-founder of Letzte Generation, Germany) was born in 2000 in a German town on the Baltic Sea coast. He once considered becoming a teacher, but with human extinction on the horizon, he devoted his life to peaceful revolution. His path to the streets was inspired by Greta Thunberg and his work with Extinction Rebellion, culminating in a 27-day hunger strike that brought the climate crisis into the news right before the 2021 elections. He co-founded Letzte Generation Germany, the most talked-about climate and democracy movement in the country. The threat of up to five years in prison won’t stop him—in spring 2025, he co-founded the follow-up project New Generation to help build a people-powered democracy.

Chloé Bertini (climate activist from Ultima Generazione, Italy) is an Italo-Guadeloupean organiser with a multidisciplinary background spanning dance, neuroscience, and art therapy. She cut her teeth on climate justice with Ultima Generazione and now weaves that together with social justice across a range of projects. Her work centers on organising civil resistance and building long-term coordination across movements — all from an ecofeminist lens aimed at radical system change. Beyond the practical work, she’s driven by a deep reverence for life and a commitment to drawing on both new and ancestral practices to deepen our connections with each other and the wider ecosystem.

Thibaut Cantet (climate activist and co-founder of Dernière Rénovation, France) co-founded Dernière Rénovation, one of France’s leading climate campaigns and part of the A22 Network. Raised between the Savoyard Alps and Paris, he now lives in a small town in Burgundy. His turning point came in 2017, living and working alongside communities in the Philippines, when he saw how the climate crisis — driven largely by the global north — threatened them with death or exile. He returned to France and threw himself into climate activism. Since then, he’s been arrested multiple times and led more than 100 public talks calling people to proportionate action and civil disobedience.

ABOUT THE BOOK

The book tells the inside story of the rise of the Last Generation climate movements across Europe, written collectively by the frontline organizers and activists themselves. It takes readers behind the scenes of hunger strikes, motorway blockades, stage and pitch invasions, and media storms: the late-night planning sessions, the internal debates, the moments of doubt, and the decisions that shaped some of the most audacious climate actions of recent years. Drawing on first-hand accounts from the UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, it is at once a gripping narrative, a strategic reflection, and a deeply human portrait of what it takes—and what it costs—to confront systemic inaction.

Screening: Earth's Greatest Enemy

Join CODEPINK, USCAN, and other organizations for a special New York Climate Week screening and discussion of Earth’s Greatest Enemy!

Co-sponsoring organizations: US Climate Action Network (USCAN), CODEPINK, Grassroots Global Justice Alliance, Institute for Policy Studies Climate Policy Program

Join us during New York Climate Week for a special screening of Earth’s Greatest Enemy, along with a post-film facilitated discussion. We’ll discuss reactions to the film and takeaways for our work for the planet!

Earth’s Greatest Enemy is the second documentary from journalist Abby Martin that uncovers a shocking blind spot in the climate conversation: the U.S. military. The film has been a transformative organizing tool for CODEPINK and many other organizations since its release. Now, we want to discuss with you how we can expand the work that it asks of us during one of the world’s largest climate events.

Exempt from international climate agreements and rarely scrutinized in mainstream reporting, the Pentagon is revealed here as the world’s single largest institutional polluter—spewing carbon, contaminating water, and scarring landscapes across the globe. Combining investigative journalism, striking visuals, and stories from impacted communities, the film challenges audiences to rethink the hidden costs of a global military empire and its planetary consequences. Provocative, urgent, and eye-opening, this is a documentary that will change how you see both the military and environmentalism.

How Data Center Fights Are Renewing Local Power Across the U.S.

To hear many in the tech industry tell it, data centers will bring wealth and prosperity not only to those who build them, but to the communities that ultimately live with and around them. However, drawing a longer historical arc is essential: AI is proposed as a new industrial moonshot in communities that have already seen the rise and fall of steel factories, coal plants, fracking infrastructure, and more. Today’s companies are trying to sell communities on yet another industrial vision.

On Sept. 22 at 5:30 p.m., join us in Midtown East, Manhattan, for a panel discussion featuring journalists, nonprofits, and community organizers who are uncovering the impact of data centers across the country and sharing that information with the public.

Our panel discussion will feature

  • Maia Woluchem, program director of Data & Society’s Trustworthy Infrastructures program;
  • Alejandra Martinez, The Texas Tribune environmental reporter and Pulitzer Center grantee;
  • Brian Crawford, Texas resident with the nonprofit Protect the Paluxy Valley; and
  • Ginny Marcille-Kerslake, Pennsylvania resident and Senior Organizer at Food & Water Watch.

Moderator:

  • Kit R. Roane, award-winning senior producer at Retro Report

This event is anchored by the launch of Data & Society’s forthcoming report, The AI Factory: Data Centers, Power and Resistance in Late Industrial Pennsylvania, a landmark study emerging out of eighteen months of field research in the Keystone State, as well as Pulitzer Center-supported reporting on data center development by The Texas Tribune.

Light refreshments will be served. Seating is limited, and R.S.V.P. is required.

This panel discussion is co-organized by Data & Society, Retro Report, and The Pulitzer Center.

What The World Can Learn From Ukraine's Energy Resilience

This event is organized by Razom We Stand, a European energy and policy organization founded in Ukraine that works to accelerate Europe’s transition away from fossil-fuel vulnerability while integrating Ukraine into a secure, renewable and resilient European energy system. It is co-organized by chilli, a digital action platform for climate and social justice that makes it easy to take action on the issues that matter.

​Five years of sustained Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure have generated hard-won practical knowledge on distributed generation as critical infrastructure, on keeping damaged grids operating under repeated attack, as well as on ensuring reconstruction strengthens energy security without locking in decades of new fossil-fuel dependence.

​This expertise carries relevance far beyond Ukraine. Climate change, geopolitical instability and other disruptions are forcing governments worldwide to rethink energy systems built on assumptions of stability and centralised supply. Ukraine’s experience belongs in the wider international conversation about how energy systems become cleaner, more distributed and more resilient. This event places Ukraine at the centre of the multilateral climate conversation, positioning Ukraine as a source of expertise rather than a recipient of aid.

​The discussion brings together decision-makers, practitioners, civil society and finance experts for two working conversations held under Chatham House Rule, addressing three interconnected questions: who controls the energy system, how it survives disruption and what kind of system emerges from crisis. Through the lenses of sovereignty, resilience and transformation, these conversations place Ukrainian expertise within a broader international discussion on building energy systems for an increasingly unstable world.
