Clinton Initiative Spurs Pledges for Efficiency, Sustainability
Former President Bill Clinton wrapped up his annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative yesterday, netting 291 philanthropic commitments valued at roughly $6 billion.
The commitments target a range of global problems, including poverty, illiteracy, human trafficking, and women's rights.
Environmental issues also played a significant role, as evidenced by commitments earlier this week to track corporate plastic use, reduce greenhouse gas emissions in corporate fleets, improve access to clean water in developing countries, expand use of cleaner cookstoves, make supply chains greener, and speed the adoption of electric vehicles.
