diverse leaders in climate and agriculture summit

Croatan Institute’s REEFS Program hosted its first collaborative effort for thought leaders, practitioners, advocates and values aligned capital partners – the Diverse Leaders in Climate and Agriculture Summit. 

On November 17th & 18th participants engaged in deep conversations at the critical nexus of finance, sustainability and economic development. The Summit was an opportunity for BIPOC leaders in agriculture and climate justice to engage with values-aligned partners while elevating their voices in spaces that are perceived as lacking inclusivity. The Summit featured a two-day schedule of panels and breakout sessions from leaders in climate advocacy and regenerative agriculture, and dining opportunities that aim to gather together a multitude of top professionals leading direct change.
