The Event

Our world is facing greater challenges than ever before, from climate change and resource shortages to extreme poverty and infectious diseases. How can we respond effectively to these increasingly complex global problems? What roles should government, industry, civil society and individuals play in enabling positive change? What contributions can China make in helping the global community to address these challenges? In her speech, Yinuo Li will tackle all these questions and share the Gates Foundation’s concept of “catalytic philanthropy”, explaining how it can be used to challenge the status quo created by market forces, in order to make markets work for the poor and help solve the greatest global health and development issues.

LANGUAGE

The language of the event will be Chinese.
