Cisco & Ford Foundation Make Commitments to Racial Equality and Climate Action | Global Citizen Live

Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins and Ford Foundation president Darren Walker commit to powering an inclusive future for all with a $150 million investment in historically Black colleges and universities. Cisco Foundation pledges $100 million to climate action, and makes commitments to becoming net zero by the year 2040.

Global Citizen Live calls for action to halt climate change and for wealthy countries to deliver on the $100B climate pledge, $6B for famine relief, and COVID-19 vaccine justice for all. On Sept. 25, 2021, over 60M COVID-19 vaccines, 157M trees, and more than US$1.1B in commitments to climate, famine, and COVID-19 response efforts were announced as part of the partner-led campaign. The Global Citizen Live campaign continues in the lead-up to the G20 Summit and the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) later this year.
