The Future Is Ours to Build: Reimagining U.S. Leadership in Global Conservation

​This event is hosted by the consortium: Reimagining Global Conservation, A Blueprint for the U.S. Role.

​The old system is gone. What comes next is up to all of us.

​The institutions that once defined U.S. leadership in global conservation, USAID among them, have been dismantled or diminished. But this isn’t a moment to rebuild the past. It’s a chance to ask bigger questions: What kind of global conservation system do we need now? And what kind of U.S. role could help bring it to life?

​Join us this Climate Week NYC for a dynamic and forward-looking session that opens space for honest debate, creative thinking, and collaborative design. Rather than unveiling a new blueprint, the Reimagining Conservation team is here to convene bold voices across sectors and geographies—to help the global conservation community imagine a better way forward.

​Through keynote reflections, sharp debate, and open dialogue, we’ll explore what it means to move beyond previous  models toward something more just, inclusive, and effective. This session is an invitation to shape—not just critique—the future.

​Let’s reimagine what could be. Together.
