The 2021 Meridian Summit will bring together the top diplomatic, business and government leaders to delve into this intersection of diplomacy and emerging environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. The global race is on the build back better - and no nation, community, or company can do it alone.

From the farm and the streets to governments and C-suites, leaders at all levels of society need the tools, the incentives, and the resources to respond to the convergence of climate, social and economic issues we face today. While climate change is not new to international conversations, COVID-19 has transformed it into a central component of business strategy and community planning, as much as national security and foreign policy priorities. At the same time, global youth and corporate activism are sparking progress by all sectors on achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, as well as compelling government and business alike to take action on international social and human rights issues.
