This panel of the 2021 Interdependence Summit featured a candid discussion led by Manish Bapna, President and CEO, Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), and panelists Andrew Steer, President and CEO, Bezos Earth Fund; Musonda Mumba, Director, UNDP Rome Centre for Sustainable Development; and Rajiv J. Shah, President, The Rockefeller Foundation.

On Thursday, September 23, 2021, our second annual global interdependence summit, “Rise or Fall Together: Harnessing Our Mutual Responsibilities to Solve Global Challenges,” brought together some of the world’s most inspiring people to explore how we can best build a world where leaders at all levels do a far better job of balancing our narrower national, corporate, and tribal interests with our broader interests as humans sharing the same planet. The summit developed new strategies for building an empowered global constituency representing our common humanity and for transforming a recognition of the mutual responsibilities of our interdependence to help solve our greatest common challenges.
