    Devex @ COP 27

    On November 10, Devex will host a series of provocative conversations on global development and climate change on the sidelines of the COP 27 negotiations in person in Sharm El-Sheik. This won’t be your standard COP event. Step outside of the blue zone as we spotlight how low- and middle-income countries are included — or not — in these critical conversations while being the most impacted. We’ll dig into cross-cutting issues such as health, food systems, migration, and finance, and how climate intersects with every facet of achieving the sustainable development goals.

    Devex journalists will bring together a cross-section of leaders from government, civil society, INGOs, private sector, financial institutions, philanthropies, and other change-makers to ask the tough questions on how climate disruption is changing the work, urgency, and challenges of achieving the global goals.

    Join our reporters — in person in Sharm El-Sheik or online from anywhere — for an insider look at these critical conversations as we ask how we can make meaningful progress toward mitigating damage from climate disruption and adapt to what is to come.

    Please note that the in person event will take place on Nov. 10, while the livestream will be broadcasted on Nov. 11.

    Revisit what happened at Devex @COP 26.

    Fiona Macaulay
    Over the last two decades, I’ve worked with thousands of people across the globe who are tackling the world’s toughest problems. The most common attribute I have observed? A deep commitment to having a positive impact. I have also seen how much people want to deepen and expand their leadership skills. And for those earlier in their careers, and those people given less opportunities, a desire for more opportunities to lead.

    Bridging the Gap Between Entertainment and the Impact Economy

    Entertainment, when effectively engaged, is a powerful tool to effect social change and can be utilized by entrepreneurs as a catalyst for purpose and profit.

    In this live fireside chat and audience Q&A, Impact Entrepreneur’s Laurie Lane-Zucker welcomes Paul Katz, CEO of social impact agency Entertain Impact and veteran music industry executive, to discuss the Influencer Effect, the field of social impact entertainment, edutainment, and how to harness the power of popular culture to effect social change. There may not be a more significant time in our history when businesses, non-profits, entertainment, creators, and influencers, can work together to meet the challenges of our time meaningfully.

    Paul Katz

    With multiple Grammy nominations under his belt, Paul Katz’s approach to the field of cause influence – the use of pop culture to effect social change – is informed by his experience at Jive Records, working with artists such as Pink, A Tribe Called Quest, and Britney Spears, as well as his music work consulting for Oscar-winning films, including 12 Years A Slave, Green Book, and American Factory.

    As founder and CEO of Entertain Impact, a leading social impact agency, Katz has raised awareness, support, and funds, inspired action, and driven programs forward for philanthropic, social justice, and purpose-driven organizations over the past two decades—including the African Wildlife Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, National Trust for Historic Preservation, Rotary International, ELMA Philanthropies, and WHO Foundation.
