NAVIGATING THE ANNUAL MEETING ACCESS: Closed press TIME: 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM

BREAKOUT SESSION: The Economic Implications of Gender-Based Violence ACCESS: Open press; limited capacity PRE-SET: 4:00 PM TIME: 4:30 PM – 6:30 PM LOCATION: New York East

Gender-based violence severely hinders development globally by usurping the ability of girls and women to leverage their potential effectively. The World Health Organization estimates that more than one-third of women worldwide experience gender-based violence in their lifetimes—and productivity losses resulting from gender-based violence are estimated at up to 10 percent of GDP in some countries. In addition to negatively impacting businesses by significantly increasing costs from employee absenteeism, as well as raising health expenses for employees and their families, the larger-scale social norms that underlie gender-based 21 violence limit a company’s and a market’s potential in a given geography.

Objectives:  Explore strategies that encourage the economic independence of girls and women— which can act as a protective factor for violence—throughout the supply chain and highlight some of the successes and challenges encountered when implementing such programs.  Identify potential opportunities for collaboration through Commitments to Action focused on the prevention of gender-based violence.  Provide an opportunity for networking and partnership building.

Participants:  Rohini Anand, Senior Vice President and Global Chief Diversity officer, Sodexo  Luis Alberto Moreno, President , Inter-American Development Bank  Beatriz Perez, Chief Sustainability Officer , The Coca-Cola Company  Tulika Srivastava, Executive Director, South Women's Fund

SPECIAL EVENT: Accelerating the Energy Revolution HOST: United Postcode Lotteries ACCESS: Access is determined by the hosting sponsor. If interested in attending, please email [email protected]. TIME: 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM

Despite the increased use of alternative energy sources, oil and electricity are still each responsible for 40 percent of all fossil carbon emissions. While new energy products are emerging across the industry and enabling consumers to make more environmentally conscious energy choices, there remains an urgent need to accelerate this conversion to alternative energies. The opportunity to both reduce carbon emissions and gain consumers should motivate businesses, philanthropies, and governments to participate in the new low- carbon energy market. However, their participation has not yet reached its full potential. Given these environmental and financial opportunities, how do we drive the developing energy revolution forward? At this Topic Dinner, speakers will share examples from their own experiences that can help accelerate the adoption of alternative energies.

SPECIAL EVENT: From Education to Entrepreneur: Linking SME Success with Human Capital HOST: Western Union ACCESS: Access is determined by the hosting sponsor. If interested in attending, please email [email protected]. TIME: 8:30 AM – 10:00 AM

Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for more than 90 percent of businesses and 50 percent of employment worldwide. Yet, upwards of two-thirds of SMEs fail within their first three years—often times due to an inability to find and hire qualified human capital. Many job seekers and potential entrepreneurs, particularly women and youth, do not have access to the relevant skills and training needed to tackle the multidimensional demands of small businesses. Ranging from business acumen to ‘soft skills’ like communication, leadership, and cultural sensitivity, equipping individuals with transferable expertise will help SMEs grow and compete in the global economy. This session will bring together SME owners, educational institutions, and NGOs to discuss strategies, programs, and opportunities to support SMEs. In addition, participants will develop recommendations for frameworks to guide future cross-sector collaboration in this space.

BREAKOUT SESSIONS PRE-SET: 12:00 PM TIME: 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM

 Emerging Markets: Balancing Growth with Equity and Sustainability 25 ACCESS: Open press; limited capacity LOCATION: New York West

The world population is set to grow to 10 billion people by 2050, and most of this growth will come from Africa and Asia. Emerging markets more broadly, including the Middle East and Latin America, will also be the drivers of global economic growth in the coming decades, lifting millions out of poverty and creating middle class consumers, entrepreneurs, and innovators. However, this growth needs to be balanced with sustainable consumption to curb greenhouse gas emissions and resource depletion, and needs to ensure the most vulnerable—namely rural populations, ethnic minorities, and women—are not left behind.

Participants: o Le Luong Minh, Secretary-General, ASEAN o James Mwangi, Group Managing Director and CEO, Equity Group Holdings Limited

Moderator: o , Editor, Foreign Affairs

 Haiti Action Network: Exploring Partnerships and New Opportunities ACCESS: Open press; limited capacity LOCATION: New York East

In 2008, President Bill Clinton issued a Call to Action to address the pressing challenges Haiti faced in the aftermath of four devastating hurricanes. Resulting in the creation of the CGI Haiti Action Network seven years ago, significant progress has been made in the country to improve livelihoods, empower communities, and strengthen recovery initiatives—and there are numerous opportunities to continue these efforts. Going forward, the value of partnerships in the implementation of this work will remain critical—over 90 percent of CGI Commitments to Action in Haiti are made in collaboration, often engaging local partners.

In this session, leaders from the public sector, private sector, and civil society will discuss how CGI members can:

o Increase sustainable economic development and job creation in Haiti. o Integrate girls and women further into solutions. o Invest in important developing sectors like agriculture and energy.

Participants: o Alix Cantave, Program Officer for Haiti, W.K. Kellogg Foundation o Charles Castel, Governor, Banque de la République d'Haïti (BRH) - Central Bank of Haïti o Adam Davidson, Economics Writer, o Denis O'Brien, Chairman , Digicel 26 o Marlène Sam, Country Director of Internship Program, NetHope Academy

 The Future of Housing ACCESS: Open press; limited capacity LOCATION: Liberty 4

A lack of adequate, affordable housing challenges the day-to-day survival of poor families in developed and emerging countries alike, leading them to forgo spending on basic needs. Globally, 1.1 billion urban residents live in homes without sanitation, electricity, and other essential services important to productivity, health, and safety. Providing decent, affordable urban housing to the projected 1.6 billion people who will reside in cities by 2025 requires an estimated $16 trillion in spending and investment, presenting opportunities for the construction and finance industries to build resilient and empowered urban communities.

In this session, leaders from the public sector, private sector, and civil society will discuss how CGI members can:

o Develop public-private partnerships that increase the global supply of durable and affordable housing and building products. o Scale and modernize the delivery of essential services to urban slums and informal settlements.

o Improve access to financial products that empower low-income urban populations to stabilize and improve their housing situations.

Participants: o George Guimaraes, CEO, Project Concern International o Elizabeth Hausler Strand, Founder and CEO, Build Change

SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS ACCESS: Closed press TIME: 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM

PLENARY SESSION: Investing in Prevention and Resilient Health Systems ACCESS: Open press PRE-SET: 1:30 PM TIME: 2:30 PM – 3:45 PM LOCATION: Metropolitan Ballroom

The recent Ebola crisis in West Africa highlights the need for strong health infrastructure and primary care systems, including a sufficient amount of health care workers, to mitigate infectious disease outbreaks. Strong health systems are also essential to curbing maternal and child mortality and non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, which account for 63 percent of deaths worldwide. The economic impacts of these health crises are significant--it is estimated that the Ebola crisis may cost up to $25 billion in 27 lost GDP for West Africa in 2015 alone and NCDs will lead to approximately $30 trillion lost in economic opportunity globally over the next 20 years. Investing in prevention and health systems will help ensure access to quality health services for all and reduce long-term health care costs, and is key to building resilient and prosperous communities.

In this session, leaders from the private, public, and civil society sectors will discuss how CGI members can:

 Promote incentives for businesses and countries alike to make long-term investments in health infrastructure and human resource capacity.  Build public-private partnerships and innovative financing mechanisms that ensure access to preventative and effective health services, products, and technologies.  Empower communities and individuals with the knowledge and resources necessary to invest in their own health care and healthier lifestyles.

 CGI Conversation moderated by CNN’s ACCESS: Open press, with limited capacity and limitations: no video or recording devices. If interested in attending or obtaining a transcript from the “CGI Conversation moderated by Fareed Zakaria, CNN Host & Washington Post Columbist: Advancing Growth in Europe, The Greek Crisis and Beyond” please email [email protected]. PRE-SET: 3:45 PM TIME: 4:15 PM – 6:00 PM LOCATION: New York West

The effects of the Great Recession are still evident today across the European Union (EU): unemployment is estimated at 9.5 percent, up from 7 percent before the crisis. Europe’s young people are particularly affected—of the 57 million individuals aged 15-24, over 20 percent are unemployed. Despite serious challenges, the region overall

is now heading toward a recovery, and the EU needs to find ways to accelerate economic growth and job creation. This requires leadership across all sectors to utilize the great assets the region possesses: a single market of over 500 million consumers constituting the largest combined GDP in the world, high levels of education and quality manufacturing, and world-class corporations. This also means mitigating the Greek crisis, which brought into question the sustainability of the whole Eurozone as Greece continues to face an unresolved debt crisis and a youth unemployment rate above 50 percent. However, for a Europe forged in crises, Greece can serve as an opportunity—one that firstly requires political leadership across European countries and financial institutions, and secondly employs the productive capacity and ingenuity of all Greek citizens to set the country on a path to growth.

In this session, leaders from the private, public, and civil sectors will discuss how CGI members can:

o Improve competitiveness, facilitate innovation, and highlight entrepreneurship—particularly among youth. o Develop the workforce by training workers and enhancing lifelong workforce preparedness. o Scale-up effective partnerships, improve connections between sectors, and learn about strategies that have been successful in other countries.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 PRESS REGISTRATION: 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM

PLENARY SESSION: Escalators of Opportunity ACCESS: Open press PRE-SET: 8:15 AM TIME: 9:15 AM – 10:30 AM LOCATION: Metropolitan Ballroom

Over the last several decades, most of the world has experienced a decline in poverty rates and many emerging markets have achieved unprecedented economic growth, largely driven by progress in countries across Africa and Latin America. Despite this, more than 70 percent of people globally live in societies today that have greater income inequality than 20 years ago. This disparity in income hampers global economic growth and prohibits individuals, namely women and marginalized communities, from reaching their full potential. Addressing income inequality and social mobility starts by investing in children—placing them on the escalator to more equitable futures—and is continued by empowering individuals to create wealth and break cycles of inequality.

In this session, leaders from the private, public, and civil society sectors will discuss how CGI members can:

 Create ecosystems that promote quality lifelong learning, adequate nutrition, and 32 improved health outcomes, starting with early childhood development.  Empower individuals to build wealth for their families by connecting them to the formal financial system and eliminating barriers to asset and property ownership.

 CGI Conversation hosted by CNBC’s Becky Quick ACCESS: Open press, with limited capacity and limitations: no video or recording devices. LOCATION: New York West

Although we’d like to think markets are the best way to allocate resources and capital, they have continuously contained inefficiencies. New models driven by digitization, offer ways to create jobs, empower people, lower the costs of living, and promote more sustainable resource consumption. The rapid pace of mobile phone and internet penetration across the world has allowed businesses to flourish, bringing consumers that were previously hard to reach, access to information, finance, education and health, and this growth is set to continue as millions a year are becoming literate and equipped with smartphones. Further, with global revenues set to hit $335 billion by 2025, shared economy businesses allow asset owners capitalize the unused capacity of things they already own or untapped skills they possess. Similarly, these principles, increasingly embraced by business, have the potential to significantly contribute to waste reduction and resource savings.

In this session, leaders from the private, public and civil society sectors will discuss 33 how CGI members can:

o Support and scale shared economy ventures that provide social and environmental value o Accelerate access to services through digitization to support thriving livelihoods and financial wellbeing for all o Create new markets and bring products to the base of the pyramid

 The Future of Gender Investing ACCESS: Open press; limited capacity LOCATION: New York East

Women-owned enterprises grow faster and create more jobs than those owned by men, but face numerous barriers to success despite women reinvesting their profits in the health and education of their communities at a higher rate than men. Globally, women business owners face an estimated collective credit gap of more than $300 billion, and only 6 percent of U.S. venture capital funding goes to firms run by women. Given their higher growth potential, women-led enterprises represent a multitude of lucrative opportunities for investors. The impact investing market is uniquely positioned to harness this potential and provide gender-equitable access to capital.

In this session, leaders from the public sector, private sector, and civil society will discuss how CGI members can:

o Develop and scale financial instruments, such as pay-for-success structures, that support female entrepreneurs and businesses. 34 o Increase and strengthen public-private investment partnerships that support women-led initiatives. o Improve data collection for gender-related impact investments, thereby creating industry benchmarks to drive future investments.

 Water Scarcity: From the Wetlands to the Water Glass ACCESS: Open press; limited capacity LOCATION: Liberty 4

With 20 percent of the world’s GDP and 36 percent of the global population located in severely water stressed areas, water scarcity is an economic, environmental, and social threat. Globally, 750 million people do not have access to safe drinking water, and demand for water will only increase as populations and industries grow. The need will be particularly strong in the agricultural sector, which accounts for 70 percent of the world’s freshwater use. Looking ahead, integrated approaches between the public, private, and nonprofit sectors are critical for increasing water security for all and addressing key issues such as water supply contamination, water use management, and clean water access within underserved communities.

In this session, leaders from the public sector, private sector, and civil society will discuss how CGI members can:

o Create partnerships to connect sectors spanning the life cycle of water use. o Implement agricultural and industrial water use practices that reduce water consumption and ensure clean water is returned to communities. o Invest in technology, financing mechanisms, and behavioral change solutions that incentivize clean water conservation and access for all.

PLENARY SESSION: Looking to the Next Frontier ACCESS: Open press PRE-SET: 12:00 PM TIME: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM LOCATION: Metropolitan Ballroom

Many of today’s disruptive ideas, technologies, and breakthroughs will serve as benefits that govern our shared future and societies. Some advancements achieved in the near-term have quickly showcased their potential to improve human well-being, including artificial intelligence, human exploration of Mars, gene therapy, and the Internet of things. However, the benefits of some of history’s most revolutionary discoveries—such as penicillin, wireless telegraphy, and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)—took decades to realize. How can the innovations of today impact our societies, environment, and economies of tomorrow?

In this session, leaders from the private, public, and civil society sectors will discuss how CGI members can:

 Extend access to and use of today’s innovations by underserved communities and ensure that benefits are shared by all rather than a few.  Invest in research and development to advance new ideas and technologies for social and environmental change.

 Starting the Food Chain with Nutrition ACCESS: Open press; limited capacity LOCATION: New York East

Globally, more than 800 million people suffer from chronic hunger and billions more suffer from micronutrient deficiency, consuming inadequate amounts of nutrients that are essential to healthy physical and mental development. Every dollar invested in micronutrient-dense food is estimated to yield a 14-fold return in earnings and health care spend savings globally. The challenge ahead lies in increasing the nutrient value of food produced while also achieving a 70 percent 36 increase in food production by 2050 to meet the needs of the growing global population.

In this session, leaders from the public sector, private sector, and civil society will discuss how CGI members can:

o Invest in bioengineering, biofortification, innovative aquaculture design, and other technologies to increase nutritious yields for farmers and fishers. o Educate communities about micronutrients to shift production and consumption decisions. o Equip women with tools and resources to increase yields of nutritious crops and empower them as stewards of nutrition for their communities.

 Sustainable Oceans ACCESS: Open press; limited capacity LOCATION: New York West

With more than 40 percent of the world’s population living within 100 kilometers of the ocean and 80 percent of global trade water-based, oceans are key to sustaining individual livelihoods and the global economy. But the combined threats of overfishing and climate change stress our oceans, demanding the need for cross- sector partnerships designed to increase ocean and coastal resilience and establish and promote sustainable fishing practices.

In this session, leaders from the private sector, public sector, and civil society will discuss how CGI members can:

o Strengthen coral reefs, mangrove forests, and other natural infrastructure to bolster resilience against climate change. o Invest in sustainable supply chains and improve fisheries management in order to create economic opportunities and combat illegal fishing practices 37 and overfishing.

LOCATION: Metropolitan Ballroom

Investing in prevention and preparedness has proven to save lives and resources—for example, for every $1 spent on disaster preparedness, $7 is saved in future recovery efforts. Yet, investments made to address natural disasters and climate change are still too often reactionary rather than focused on long-term prevention strategies. This year marks several milestones related to such crises—the Climate Change Conference will take place in Paris in November, a decade has passed since Hurricane Katrina and the Indian Ocean tsunami, and it has been five years since the devastation of the Haiti earthquake. Future solutions require long-term commitments which focus equally on mitigation and adaptation, as well as community resiliency.

In this session, leaders from the private, public, and civil society sectors will discuss how CGI members can:

 Create incentives and reduce risk for all sectors to invest in sustainable solutions, including clean and renewable energy, and energy efficiency programs.  Build partnerships and innovative financing mechanisms, such as flood insurance and green bonds, which promote large-scale public good initiatives.  Utilize resources that flow in during crises to build back hard and natural infrastructure to mitigate or prevent future emergencies.

SPECIAL EVENT: Empowering Youth Through Computer Science Education HOST: Microsoft ACCESS: Access is determined by the hosting sponsor. If interested in attending, please email [email protected]. TIME: 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM

Today, technology is an integral part of people’s lives around the world. Yet, in order for youth to fully benefit from technology, they must be able to become its creators and innovators, not just its users and consumers. In the United States, just one in four high schools offer computer science education—a subject that builds critical skills like computational thinking and problem solving, while exposing young minds to the possibilities that computer science can enable in areas such as medicine, art, retail, manufacturing, technology, and entrepreneurship. For these reasons and more, computer science education

can help every young person build a bright future. Microsoft’s YouthSpark Initiative, a CGI Commitment to Action, aims to create opportunities for all youth to learn computer science worldwide. Participants in this Topic Dinner will hear directly from youth, educators, and community leaders about the promise and potential for computer science to positively impact today’s world and tomorrow’s future.

SPECIAL EVENT: Giving Girls a Chance HOST: Procter & Gamble ACCESS: Access is determined by the hosting sponsor. If interested in attending, please email [email protected] TIME: 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM

It is increasingly recognized that investing in girls and women not only empowers communities, but strengthens the global economy. For example, if empowered with the appropriate job skills, girls could increase global GDP by as much as 5.4 percent. Creating the conditions to unlock their full potential, however, requires greater advancements in terms of education, health care, and safety worldwide. To further the agenda for girls and 39 women, this Topic Dinner will feature three global advocates who will share their perspectives on current programs and multi-sector partnerships that focus on family planning, gender-based violence, health challenges, economic development, and education. Participants will discuss how to overcome existing barriers and also innovate solutions that create pathways so that girls and women can not only improve their lives, but thrive.

SPECIAL EVENT: Transforming the Global Energy Landscape: Environmental Opportunities and Challenges HOST: Cheniere Energy ACCESS: Access is determined by the hosting sponsor. If interested in attending, please email [email protected]. TIME: 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM

Over the last decade, the United States has transformed itself into a net exporter of energy while reducing carbon emissions through the expansion of new advanced technologies. As a

21st century energy leader, the United States is well-positioned to accelerate a worldwide transition to a cleaner energy future through a diverse set of energy resources. Globally, there is greater potential than ever to reduce pollutants and address climate change while also driving economic growth. Nevertheless, low-emission energy options can at times be accompanied by environmental challenges at the local level. During this dinner, a panel of experts will discuss how this historic opportunity can lead to innovation in the transition to a balanced, clean energy sector and help secure the futures of communities, the global economy, and the environment.

Corporations are increasingly realizing the power of greater diversity in the boardroom and across the workforce—ultimately benefiting corporate culture and the bottom line. Yet, despite efforts to break down barriers to advance the full participation of working parents, the pace of improvement and the creation of supportive workplace practices lag behind. From enhancing parental leave policies to creating a more supportive corporate culture, companies are uniquely positioned to support individuals in achieving their aspirations at work and at home while also improving productivity, competitiveness, and the ability to attract and retain talent. This Topic Dinner will feature a dynamic conversation between Chelsea Clinton and Anne-Marie Slaughter that will focus on opportunities in which both men and women can live full, purposeful, and productive lives at home and in the workplace.

Participants:  Anne-Marie Slaughter, President and CEO, New America

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29 PRESS REGISTRATION: 8:00 AM – 3:45 PM

PLENARY SESSION: Unleashing Women’s Economic Opportunities ACCESS: Open press PRE-SET: 8:15 AM TIME: 9:15 AM – 10:30 AM LOCATION: Metropolitan Ballroom

PART I: A NO CEILINGS CONVERSATION

Marking the 20th anniversary of the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, this conversation will share data from the No Ceilings: The Full Participation Report which represents gains made for women and girls over the last two decades, as well as the gaps that remain. Priorities to advance the status of women and girls over another 20 years to promote economic growth and stability in both the developing and developed world will be examined.

PART II: WOMEN AS SUSTAINABILITY LEADERS

Women’s labor is often informal and undervalued across industries around the world— barriers such as a lack of property ownership, inheritance rights, or access to markets, capital, and financial tools hampers women’s ability to fully realize their economic potential. 42 For example, while less than 20 percent of women globally own their land, they are responsible for more than half of food production. In sub-Saharan Africa, this rate is even higher—women and girls produce up to 80 percent of food and collect up to 90 percent of water and firewood for household use. With global food demand estimated to increase 50 percent by 2030, it is essential that women have the same access to productive resources as men to increase productivity, meet future demand sustainably, and raise family incomes.

In this session, leaders from the private, public, and civil society sectors will discuss how CGI members can:

 Expand successful models to connect women and women-owned businesses with global supply chains.  Support women’s access to land and capital to formalize their role in their economy, increasing yields and improving livelihoods.  Teach and scale land management, harvesting, and conservation practices in farming and fishing to enable more sustainable resource use.

Participants:  Supisra Arayaphong, Founder, FarmerDo

 CGI Conversation hosted by CNN's ACCESS: Open press, with limited capacity and limitations: no video or recording devices. If interested in attending or obtaining a transcript from the “CGI Conversation moderated by CNN's Erin Burnett: Looking to the Next Decade,” please email [email protected]. LOCATION: New York West

In 2005, President Bill Clinton’s goal was simple: convene the global community to move beyond just talking about the world’s most complex challenges to taking action. As CGI celebrates its 10th anniversary, the world looks very different today than it did a decade ago—while significant progress has been achieved, numerous challenges remain. Globally, 2015 marks a pivotal year to drive forward further advancements with the launch of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and the 20th anniversary of the Beijing World Conference on Women.

President Clinton will be joined by a panel of celebrities, business and government 43 leaders, and philanthropists to discuss the remaining global challenges and the promising solutions that aim to achieve shared prosperity and opportunity over the next decade. The panel discussion will be moderated by CNN anchor Erin Burnett. The interview with President Clinton will be moderated by CNN anchor Erin Burnett and is scheduled for broadcast on CNN.

 The Future of Girls' Education ACCESS: Open press; limited capacity LOCATION: New York East

When girls are empowered through education, cycles of poverty are broken and stronger, healthier societies and nations develop. Increasing the number of girls with secondary education by 10 percent boosts a country’s per-capita income by 3 percent, and each year of secondary school increases a girl’s future income by 25 percent. However, while more children around the world attend primary school than

ever before, secondary school enrollment for girls has stagnated—in Africa and South Asia, boys remain 1.5 times more likely to complete this phase of schooling than girls. Addressing poverty, discrimination, violence, and other barriers will enable more girls to gain the education necessary to reach their full potential.

In this session, leaders from the public sector, private sector, and civil society will discuss how CGI members can:

o Scale exemplary models of public-private partnerships to increase financing that supports secondary education access and completion among girls. o Create learning places that are safe and gender-sensitive. o Recruit, train, and empower female teachers to serve as supportive role models in schools.

Participants: o Freida Pinto, Actor and Producer of Girl Rising

 CGI Conversation moderated by Al Jazeera’s Abderrahim Foukara ACCESS: Open press, with limited capacity and limitations: no video or recording devices. LOCATION: New York West

Despite a dramatic decline in inter-state conflicts over the last 50 years, there are more refugees in the world today than since World War II. In an age of globalization and increased access to information, weapons of war have become accessible to individuals and borders are more porous. Conflicts that may at first appear local, such as the civil wars in Syria and , increasingly have global ramifications with the potential to destabilize entire regions, as well as the world. Stronger communities that provide opportunities for all are essential, both in conflict-affected countries struggling to uphold peace and prevent violent extremism, as well as in countries welcoming those fleeing violence and human rights abuses.

In this session, leaders from the private sector, public sector, and civil society will discuss how to:

o Support efforts across the world to create peaceful and stable communities that promote human rights and ensure that displaced individuals prosper. o Provide disenfranchised communities and people, especially youth, with education and job opportunities to help combat the appeal of extremism. o Enable refugees—and host communities—to prosper through access to essential services and enhanced livelihoods for the displaced.

 Powering Economies and Critical Infrastructure Through Sustainable Energy ACCESS: Open press; limited capacity LOCATION: New York East

Access to sustainable and affordable energy is crucial to poverty alleviation. It attracts local and multinational business investments; allows neighborhoods to be safer and more resilient; and lets critical infrastructure, such as hospitals and schools, effectively serve their communities. In many African countries, achieving affordable and sustainable energy access could increase GDP by at least 5 percent through job creation, increased productivity, and healthier communities. Yet, more than 2.3 billion people worldwide lack reliable access to energy, particularly in rural communities and urban slums.

In this session, leaders from the public sector, private sector, and civil society will discuss how CGI members can: 45

o Partner with energy service providers to improve energy access and infrastructure within rural and ultra-poor communities. o Invest in sustainable energy solutions that unlock capital for new technologies that simultaneously address climate change, reduce buildings’ energy use, and replace expensive and unhealthy fuels. o Scale entrepreneurship and workforce training programs to grow local marketplaces for renewable products and services.

Participants: o Wesley Clark, Chairman and CEO, Wesley K. Clark and Associates o Hemant Kanoria, Chairman and Managing Director, Srei Infrastructure Finance Limited

Moderator: o Kathy Calvin, President and CEO, United Nations Foundation

 The Future of Accessible Medicines and Diagnostics ACCESS: Open press; limited capacity LOCATION: Riverside

Two billion people in the world today lack access to medicines, particularly in low- income countries where it is estimated that one child dies every 20 seconds from a

disease that could have been prevented by proper vaccination. Making medicine more accessible and affordable globally requires greater progress in enhancing delivery channels, supply chains, and research and development. Additionally, more public-private partnerships are needed to solve the challenges associated with counterfeit and substandard medicines, as well as to increase the affordability of diagnostics that are appropriate for the developing and emerging world.

In this session, leaders from the public sector, private sector, and civil society will discuss how CGI members can:

o Create health care solutions to decrease cost, improve quality, and expand delivery of medicines for low-income communities. o Replicate and scale proven solutions that improve access to diagnostics, particularly for underserved populations. o Expand proven financial products that allow those who are uninsured and under-financed to afford health care services.

Participants: o Charlotte Ersbøll, Corporate Vice President , Novo Nordisk A/S o Jacob Gayle, Vice President, Medtronic Philanthropy o Anita Goel, Chairman and CEO, Nanobiosym Diagnostics o Peter Hotez, Dean and President, National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine and Sabin Vaccine Institute 46 o Deogratias Niyizonkiza, CEO and Founder, Village Health Works

SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS ACCESS: Closed press TIME: 1:45 PM – 3:15 PM

CLOSING PLENARY SESSION: The Future of Equality and Opportunity ACCESS: Open press PRE-SET: 2:45 PM TIME: 3:45 PM – 5:15 PM LOCATION: Metropolitan Ballroom

In the 21st century, the advancement of societies will continue to be dependent on principles common throughout centuries of modern history: the strength and fairness of government institutions, the justice of political and social systems, and the equality of economic opportunities available to all people—all while managing a complex and evolving geopolitical landscape. Today, the future also relies on widening the scope of who is included in the determination of how those principles are applied in practice. Large swaths of the global population—including women, youth, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people, religious and ethnic minorities, and the economically disadvantaged—are left on the sidelines as the world’s social, economic, and environmental futures are shaped.

In this session, global leaders will join CGI members and youth around the world in a special closing conversation on co-creating a future rooted in justice, human rights, equality, and opportunity for all.

Participants:  President Bill Clinton, Founding Chairman, Clinton Global Initiative, 42nd President of the United States  Chelsea Clinton, Vice Chair, Clinton Foundation  Polyphony Foundation  Elizabeth Holmes, Founder and CEO, Theranos  Jack Ma, Executive Chairman, Alibaba Group
