Hillary Clinton lauds Mumbai Climate Week
Applauding Mumbai Climate Week as a significant milestone, she voiced her belief in its capacity to ignite broader systemic shifts. Clinton highlighted effective grassroots developments as evidence of scalable progress, mentioning an insurance initiative that has successfully protected 500,000 women who were formerly uninsured.
“So you bringing everyone together for this first inaugural climate session here in Mumbai is, I am confident, the beginning of the change that needs to happen,” she remarked.
“This insurance product that I mentioned to you, 500,000 policyholders now, women who’ve never had insurance for anything. So this is not only a good thing to do, it is smart. It is a new market,” she added.
She further advocated for enhanced collaboration between the public, private, and charitable sectors to catalyze structural transformation. Discussing the impact of philanthropy during this era of massive intergenerational wealth transition, Clinton encouraged a move away from conventional aid toward addressing the fundamental injustices driving the climate emergency. She emphasized that philanthropic efforts must simultaneously mitigate current hardships while dismantling their underlying origins.
“We have to be creative about how we bring the public and private and philanthropic sectors together. So I could not be more enthusiastic, I think you could tell, about being here with all of you and representing the Clinton Global Initiative because we look for partners who want to do hard things and make a difference. And then when we see results, let’s scale them,” Clinton said.
“It is one of the most fundamental economic justice issues of our time and it is built on those extractive systems that right now are accelerating the climate crisis… Philanthropy really needs to now address a systems challenge, which is to fundamentally redistribute the source of power, wealth, accountability to those who need it the most,” she observed.
