Visit commonwealthclub.org/2021gala to learn more or Text Club2021 to 41444 to register and donate today! Our speakers, Rev. Norman Fong and Rev. James McCray, will discuss their direct hands-on experience in working to address the issue of equity and justice in community development, especially around building affordable housing, engaging community members for advocacy and support, and the broader issues of economic development connected to jobs and small business support. They will reflect on how these issue exist in San Francisco and in cities around the country. Join us for a timely discussion on equity and justice in the development of cities. About the Speakers Rev. Norman Fong has worked full-time in the nonprofit arena in San Francisco Chinatown for more than 3 decades. He has served as a pastor, the deputy director of programs at Chinatown Community Development Center, and now as executive director of Chinatown CDC. Besides being an ordained Presbyterian minister, Fong is the co-founder of the Jest Jammin Band, which has been playing classic soul/R&B/Motown music for 45 years. Dr. James McCray, Jr., is semi-retired after 38 years of service in local churches and to their surrounding community, and now joyously living as a son, husband, father and grandfather in his beloved San Francisco. He says he is joyful first for the blessing of being a “cancer survivor.” Joyful also, because of the marriage to Gail Jackson McCray, a practicing attorney in our city. In the last 10 years, a surprising new venture has come along—the development of affordable housing through the building of a locally based community development corporation, as executive director of Tabernacle Community Development Corporation (TCDC). Gerald Harris President, Quantum Planning Group; Chair, Technology & Science Member-Led Forum, The Commonwealth Club—Moderator This program is presented in partnership with Chinatown Community Development Center, Tabernacle Community Development Corporation, and The San Francisco Black Community Restoration Institute.

This richly moving, dynamic, wisdom-packed panel will shift your thinking about the role of business in creating a just, equitable, zero carbon future for humanity and all life on Earth. In commitment to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) principles, the inaugural B Corp Global Climate Summit (June 29-30 & July 1, 2021), seeks to evolve the business sector’s collective understanding and practice of Climate Justice and its commitment to human-centered, justice-driven approaches to climate action. With the aim of centering those on the frontlines of climate justice work and those whose lived experiences are most proximate to the challenges at hand, Summit conveners invited a select group of climate justice leaders from around the world to share their views on several key issues about the role of business in taking concrete climate action centered in justice. Their conversation focused on four key questions: 1) What is the most important thing for the business community to understand about the impacts of climate change on your community? 2) Where should the business community be focusing its energy in working on climate justice? 3) What is the action businesses could take that would have the greatest positive impact for your community? (Around climate justice?) 4) What do you want to say to businesses that are working on climate justice?

Beyond Maladaptation

Around the world, many projects are being promoted with claims that they are helping #Adaptation to climate change. But many of them raise concerns over equality and human rights, while nearly all

Around the world, many projects are being promoted with claims that they are helping #Adaptation to climate change. But many of them raise concerns over equality and human rights, while nearly all have significant carbon and ecological footprints. A more honest approach requires that we break with past assumptions. Initiatives, based on the systems that allowed global heating to reach a crisis, will not help us respond well to that crisis, as it worsens over time. Policy and funding must catch up with previously expressed commitments, and beyond that, initiatives need to consider the bad-to-worse scenarios and address the psychological aspects of adaptation. We need to support the people who are actually working to restore the natural balance of our planet, like our guest, Dr. Stella Nyambura Mbau, who describes her work with #RegenerativeAgroforestry in sub-Saharan Africa. Dr Lisa Schipper, Coordinating Lead Author of the IPCC Report on Climate Resilient Development Pathways, focuses on the causes of vulnerability to climate change in developing countries, and the barriers and enablers that are at work as people struggle to adapt to changing conditions in their countries. She coined the term #Maladaptation to describe the failure to adequately respond to the climate crisis.

Excerpt from a panel presentation of the Business In The Community Ireland Summit on Corporate

Excerpt from a panel presentation of the Business In The Community Ireland Summit on Corporate Responsibility: Transforming to a Sustainable Business was held on Thursday 18th November 2010.

The panel includes James Quincey, The Coca Cola Company; Sir Stuart Rose, Chairman, Marks & Spencer; Prof Roger Steare, Cass Business School; Richard Jackson, Olympic Delivery Authority; and Gerard O'Neill, Amarach.

In this excerpt we hear from Gerard O'Neill of Amarach Research on how the pricing trap employed by marketers to sell product  is undermining sustainability initiatives and products while price is but 30% of the purchase decision is about price, 70% is about emotion, feelings. The importance of the circle of trust and the social environment in the decision making process by consumers points the way to get of the pricing trap.
