During this session, experts in the field will discuss the importance of innovation as a vehicle for building a sustainable future. Where does innovation begin? What should be the role of government in promoting and facilitating innovation? Which countries are leading the charge, and how do you best position yourself and your organization to take advantage? This panel will provide a broad introduction to innovation, various approaches to cultivate it, and implications for those who pursue it and those who don’t. PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS: William Drayton, Founder and CEO, Ashoka Kathleen M. Eisenhardt, S.W.

Even though women make up 50 percent of the world's population, girls and women continuously lack the same access as men to education, health care, jobs, and the political arena. Yet each year of schooling increases a woman's income by 10 to 20 percent, and closing the gender gap adds 0.5 percent to a country's per capita GNP. Smart businesses appreciate that increased support for girls and women is integral to fostering successful markets for the future. Innovative programs are already producing remarkable results, and far-seeing countries and organizations are finding that reaching out to girls and women deepens confidence, creates opportunity, and raises profits. This panel will examine a few notable success stories. PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS: Edna Adan, Director and Founder, Edna Adan Maternity and Teaching Hospital Lloyd C.

Motor vehicles contribute significantly to climate change and air pollution. Achieving truly sustainable personal transportation requires balancing competing and complementary approaches to alternative energy sources, vehicle production and distribution, and public policy. This session aims to inspire new ways of thinking that will push current initiatives to the next level, by bringing together industry, utilities, entrepreneurs, advocacy groups, government officials and policy experts to discuss cutting edge technologies and surface the challenges and opportunities brought about by the current regulatory/policy climate, commercial markets, the economy, and consumer sentiment. ACTION NETWORK WORKSHOP: STRENGTHENING HEALTH SYSTEMS Wednesday, September 23, 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM (Sign-up required) ★ Riverside Suite, 3rd Floor Action Networks are small targeted sessions intended for members who want a deeper discussion on a specific topic and who want to identify like-minded partners within that topic area. Although billions of dollars have been raised and spent in the fight against HIV/AIDS over the past 20 years, other health indicators including those related to chronic diseases - continue to stagnate. This Action Network is intended for members with an interest in strengthening health systems, and will examine how existing and new mechanisms for prevention, delivery and treatment can combat the dual burden of chronic and infectious disease, and establish a sustainable, integrated healthcare model. This includes topics such as human resources for health, health care financing, management of the public sector, and logistical support. COMMITMENT NETWORKING SESSION: EDUCATION AND GLOBAL HEALTH Wednesday, September 23, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM ★ New York East, 3rd floor (Sign-up required) Quality education and viable health care are two of the most important factors necessary for vulnerable populations around the world to build a better future. Over 70 million children will never see the inside of a primary school classroom, and another 226 million will never continue onto secondary school. Global health issues are far-reaching and varied, ranging from infectious and chronic diseases, to environmental factors, virus mutation and drug resistance, and an inadequate workforce. Despite these challenges, new, exciting models are emerging to improve access to education and health care. The sub-topic groups for this session will include: education and technology; primary education; secondary/continuing education; health innovations; health of girls and women; and health infrastructure/systems. FACILITATED BY: Tom Kalil,Deputy Director for Policy, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy; Senior Advisor for Science, Technology and Innovation, National Economic Council COMMITMENT NETWORKING SESSION: ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT AND CROSS-CUTTING APPROACHES Wednesday, September 23, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM ★ New York West, 3rd floor (Sign-up required) Today's global economy is creating faster, deeper, and broader economic growth than at any other time in history. But that growth has been accompanied by widening disparities between rich and poor, and in every part of the world poverty robs individuals of dignity and opportunity. The combination of strategic philanthropy, sound policy, and private sector innovation offers new opportunities to empower those at the base of the pyramid through education, employment, and access to the financial tools needed to build an economic base and contribute to long-term economic development. The subtopic groups for this session will include: access to capital and financial services; accelerating entrepreneurship and enterprise; investment in human capital; improvements to infrastructure; and cross-cutting approaches to social impact. FACILITATED BY: James Carville, Democratic Strategist; Political Commentator, CNN COMMITMENT NETWORKING SESSION: ENERGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE Wednesday, September 23, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM ★ Empire East, 2nd Floor (Sign-up required) As the early effects of climate change begin to be felt, governments, private citizens, corporations, and NGOs around the world have begun to actively implement new, more strategic, mitigation schemes. The climate crisis will only be solved by crossing borders and opening board rooms, and by bringing together the most innovative and forward-thinking leaders of our time to challenge assumptions, catalyze promising solutions, and set the aggressive timelines necessary for effective action. The sub-topic groups for this session will include: energy efficiency; clean energy; ecosystems and natural infrastructure; and training and awareness raising. FACILITATED BY: Reggie Van Lee, Senior Vice President, Booz Allen Hamilton ACTION NETWORK WORKSHOP: ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER AND EFFECTIVE SANITATION Wednesday, September 23, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM ★ Liberty 3, 3rd Floor (Sign-up required) Action Networks are small targeted sessions intended for members who want a deeper discussion on a specific topic and who want to identify like-minded partners within that topic area. Today, more than 1 billion people lack ready access to safe water and almost 3 billion have no access to a safe toilet. This Action Network will enable participants from across these sectors to identify points of collaboration and knowledge exchange, while identifying cutting edge solutions to this critical crisis. ACTION NETWORK WORKSHOP: EMPOWERING WOMEN Wednesday, September 23, 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM (Sign-up required) ★ Riverside Suite, 3rd Floor Action Networks are small targeted sessions intended for members who want a deeper discussion on a specific topic and who want to identify like-minded partners within that topic area. Girls and women still lack equal access to education, healthcare, jobs, and political participation. This session will bring together CGI members working on issues related to the empowerment of women to discuss best strategies, identify gaps in member work, and catalyze new collaborations and partnerships. PLENARY SESSION: HARNESSING INNOVATION FOR DEVELOPMENT Wednesday, September 23, 1:00 PM - 2:15 PM ★ Metropolitan Ballroom, 2nd Floor The year 2008 will come to be recognized as the turning point when a series of crises gripped the planet: the spike in oil prices, the world food shortage, and the global financial meltdown. Add these to the list of ongoing mega-problems and it becomes clear that innovation on a massive scale is required to move us toward a more sustainable world. This plenary session explores the innovation strategies needed to effectively address the planetary crises we now face. From incremental improvements within existing modes of operation to leapfrog innovations in clean technology and bottom-up business creation models to serve the poor, panelists will discuss which strategies they consider critical to effectively harness innovation for sustainable development. PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS: Matthew Bishop, New York Bureau Chief and American Business Editor, The Economist Al Gore, Chairman, The Alliance for Climate Protection Jack Ma, Chairman and CEO, Alibaba Group Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Managing Director, The World Bank Group Judith Rodin, President, The Rockefeller Foundation Muhammad Yunus, Founder and Managing Director, Grameen Bank INNOVATION BREAKOUT SESSION: TOWNHALL: DRIVING DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION FROM THE BASE OF THE PYRAMID Wednesday, September 23, 2:45 PM - 4:30 PM ★ Empire East, 2nd Floor (Sign-up required) In the wake of the global economic crisis, inequity continues to rise almost everywhere in the world. More than 4 billion people at the base of the income pyramid (BoP) still earn less than three dollars per day. To create more inclusive forms of enterprise, the private sector has implemented an array of disruptively innovative new technologies and commercialization strategies. But as important as these strategies have been, they represent only partial solutions. Disruptive technologies threaten established players at the top of the pyramid in established markets, while BoP ventures focused on social development tend to overlook environmental sustainability. The crucial next step is to therefore merge these strategies in a "Great Convergence," the promise of which will be the focus of this panel.

Increasingly, companies viewed as outsiders – alien to both the cultures and the ecosystems within which they do business – are finding it difficult to realize their full economic and social potential. A key innovation challenge is for companies to become more indigenous in the communities they seek to serve. Doing so requires that they broaden their bandwidth by involving voices that have previously gone unheard to co-create businesses with local partners. A more inclusive form of capitalism thus requires innovation not only in technology, but also in business procesess and mindsets. This panel will discuss the challenges and opportunities for businesses seeking to become more locally embedded. (Global challenges emphasized: economic empowerment) COMMITMENTS PRESENTER: Muhammad Yunus, Founder and Managing Director, Grameen Bank PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS: Gordon A. Enk, Vice President of Strategy and Co-Founder, Enterprise for a Sustainable World Paul Polak, Founder, IDE , D-Rev, and Windhorse International Simona Rocchi, Director, Sustainable Design, Philips Erik Nikolajs Simanis, Senior Researcher, Center for Sustainable Global Enterprise, Johnson School of Management, Cornell University Doug Solomon, Chief Technology Officer, IDEO INNOVATION BREAKOUT SESSION: TOWNHALL: ENTERPRISE-BASED STRATEGIES FOR HEALTH AND EDUCATION Wednesday, September 23, 2:45 PM - 4:30 PM ★ New York West, 3rd floor (Sign-up required) With the IT revolution and the explosion of mobile phone and Internet connectivity around the world, new options for health care and education are becoming possible. Enterprise-based models in e-health and e-education are rapidly emerging with profound implications for how these services are delivered. Disruptive innovations like online learning and point-of-care health technologies will revolutionize their industries in the coming decade. As the United States and other developed countries struggle to control the cost of health care, to provide universal coverage, and to educate the population for the 21st century, commercial solutions that generate local livelihoods in underserved communities may provide the innovative new models needed to achieve real reform. This panel will examine the latest innovations in enterprise-based models for health and education.

Kevin McGovern, Chairman, The Water Initiative, LLC ACTION NETWORK WORKSHOP: INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO NUTRITION AND FOOD SYSTEMS Wednesday, September 23, 2:45 PM - 4:30 PM ★ Liberty 3, 3rd Floor (Sign-up required) Action Networks are small targeted sessions intended for members who want a deeper discussion on a specific topic and who want to identify like-minded partners within that topic area. Sustainable food systems can reduce malnutrition and hunger while also protecting the environment and strengthening economies. Around the world, communities depend on the environmental health of farmers’ fields and the economic health of local businesses. The active participation of the private, public, and non-profit sectors is essential for developing a sustainable food and agriculture system. ACTION NETWORK WORKSHOP: INVESTING IN GIRLS Wednesday, September 23, 2:45 PM - 4:30 PM (Sign-up required) ★ Riverside Suite, 3rd Floor Action Networks are small targeted sessions intended for members who want a deeper discussion on a specific topic and who want to identify like-minded partners within that topic area. All over the world, young girls are denied the same opportunities as boys: an education, a job, a life free of abuse. In the world’s poorest countries, 46 percent of girls lack any access to primary education. Half of sexual assaults are against girls younger than 15, and in sub-Saharan Africa, 75 percent of HIV-infected youth are female. Many CGI members are focused on investing in girls’ education, health, and social development. The session will bring together these members to share their strategies and identify new investments that need to be made. SPECIAL SESSION: FROM CEO TO NGO Wednesday, September 23, 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM ★ Empire East, 2nd floor (Sign-up required) During this session, former executives will come together to discuss the importance of philanthropy and how their background in the private sector has allowed them to effectively take part in non-profit organizations and foundations. When their main focus is on improving the global community and not their bottom line, what advice do they have for the private sector? And, what do they know from their current work that they wish they had known when they were only running multi-million for-profit dollar enterprises? This panel will showcase not only how non-profits can learn from the business community but how the business community can learn from non-profits. PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS: Eli Broad, Founder, The Eli & Edythe Broad Foundation Chrystia Freeland, U.S. Managing Editor, The Financial Times Ted Turner, Chairman, Turner Enterprises, Inc. Amy Robbins, Founder, The Nduna Foundation Bob Wright, Co-Founder, Autism Speaks; Senior Advisor, Lee Equity Partners ACTION NETWORK WORKSHOP: CONTRIBUTING TO HAITI'S FUTURE Wednesday, September 23, 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM (Sign-up required) ★ Riverside Suite, 3rd Floor Action Networks are small targeted sessions intended for members who want a deeper discussion on a specific topic and who want to identify like-minded partners within that topic area. In 2008, in the wake of hurricanes that killed nearly 800 people in Haiti and caused $1 billion in damage, CGI members responded with over $130 million of commitments to help Haiti “build back better.” As Haiti continues to rebuild, this Action Network presents a critical opportunity for attendees who have commitments in Haiti to reinvigorate this powerful network and to engage additional members who are interested in Haiti. CGI EXCHANGE Wednesday, September 23, 2009, 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM ★ Metropolitan Ballroom, 2nd Floor This public exhibition allows members to feature their ongoing commitments and new partnership opportunities. AN EVENING AT MOMA MUSEUM OF MODERN ART Wednesday, September 23, 2009, 8:00 PM – 10:00 P.M.

But today we are seriously under-investing in the world’s physical and institutional infrastructure. As CGI’s Annual Meeting unfolds, G-20 leaders will gather in Pittsburgh to confront the economic slowdown. Public works investment and new information technology can provide a foundation for recovery by facilitating job creation, unleashing private sector investment, and promoting an equitable transition to a lower-carbon and more prosperous global economy. This plenary session will explore how strategic public investment in smarter infrastructure can create opportunities for industry, address deep social needs, promote effective public-private collaboration, and jumpstart the world economy. PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS: Kofi Annan, Former Secretary General, United Nations; President, Kofi Annan Foundation John T. Chambers, Chairman and CEO, Cisco Carlos Ghosn, Chairman and CEO, Renault-Nissan Alliance Jeffrey Immelt, Chairman and CEO, General Electric Kristina Peterson, President, Gemini Solar Development Company; Vice President, Finance, Suntech America Ray Suarez, Senior Correspondent, The NewsHour INFRASTRUCTURE BREAKOUT SESSIONS: TOWNHALL: THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF HUMAN DIGNITY: PROTECTING THE MOST VULNERABLE Thursday, September 24, 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM ★ Empire East, 2nd floor (Sign-up required) Modern delivery systems for health care, safe drinking water, sanitation, nutrition, clean energy, and education are essential for meeting basic human needs. Without proper infrastructure, many people go unfed, children go without reliable water or sleep in makeshift homes, and the sick and dying are denied adequate medical attention. Patterns of infrastructure development, planning, and investment determine our ability to realize the goals of reversing global poverty, increasing rural economic development, and expanding access to quality health care. This panel will look at the human consequences of physical infrastructure investments, with a special emphasis on improving health outcomes through better sanitation, increased water supplies, expanded food availability, rebuilding slums, and training and human capital. COMMITMENTS PRESENTER: Nicholas D. Kristof, Columnist, The New York Times; Co-Author, “Half the Sky" PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS: Haris Silajdžić, President of Bosnia and Herzegovina Paul Farmer, Founder, Partners in Health Wangari Maathai, Founder, The Green Belt Movement, Kenya Ingrid Munro, Founder, Jamii Bora Trust; Group CEO, Jamii Bora Group John Podesta, President and CEO, Center for American Progress Robert E. Rubin, Co-Chair, Council on Foreign Relations; Former United States Secretary of the Treasury INFRASTRUCTURE BREAKOUT SESSIONS: SEMINAR: INFRASTRUCTURE OF RECOVERY: GOOD JOBS AND SMART GROWTH Thursday, September 24, 10:30 PM - 12:30 PM ★ New York East, 3rd floor (Sign-up required) Global recession has slowed private sector investment and caused rampant job loss. In response, governments around the world are investing in economic recovery through forward-looking public works projects. This new generation of infrastructure investments – from broadband networks to transit systems to clean energy technology – is laying the groundwork for global deployment of advanced technology and private sector innovation. The response to the economic crisis has set the stage for a new generation of smarter infrastructure empowered by better use of information and more efficient use of resources. Outdated development patterns are being “leap-frogged.” This session provides an opportunity to reflect on progress one year into the economic crisis and to examine the relationship between the public and private sectors. COMMITMENTS PRESENTER William H. Frist, University Distinguished Professor, Vanderbilt University PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS: Jacob J.

Rogers, Chairman, President, and CEO , Duke Energy Corporation INFRASTRUCTURE BREAKOUT SESSIONS: SEMINAR: THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF PLACE: SUSTAINABILITY AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT Thursday, September 24, 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM ★ New York West, 3rd floor (Sign-up required) Cities are bustling centers of economic activity, innovation, and intellectual capital – and they rely on infrastructure to function. Rethinking and reinvesting in the underpinnings of urban development, land use, and transportation can set the stage for a new wave of economic prosperity that reverses old patterns of waste and inequality. Much of tomorrow’s infrastructure is already standing today, and many of our current buildings pollute and consume massive amounts of energy. Rebuilding communities to meet energy and environmental challenges, and to manage the press of urbanization in the developing world, can be a source of jobs and consumer savings while improving long-term sustainability. This session will look at innovative approaches to the modern city, public transportation, financing energy efficiency, and restoring economic opportunity.

An emerging destination for financial capital is “impact investing,” which aims to generate social and/or environmental value in addition to financial returns. This session will identify large gaps in the availability of financial services for critical needs and gather diverse participants involved in impact investing to help build the infrastructure that is needed to grow and coordinate this market. ACTION NETWORK WORKSHOP: LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN: EMERGING ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS Thursday, September 24, 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM ★ Liberty 3, 3rd Floor (Sign-up required) Action Networks are small targeted sessions intended for members who want a deeper discussion on a specific topic and who want to identify like-minded partners within that topic area. This Action Network will engage leaders in business, government, and the civil-sector on regional efforts and involve informal discussion around key issues and best practices. Participants will gather to discuss innovations and new approaches in economic empowerment that can be transferred to other regions. PLENARY SESSION: HUMAN CAPITAL - CREATING GOOD JOBS AND STRONG COMMUNITIES Thursday, September 24, 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM ★ Metropolitan Ballroom, 2nd floor Access to education, health care, and work is an essential foundation for a prosperous community. It is more important than ever in the face of the recession, which has cost 50 million jobs and pushed millions back into poverty. Yet some 180 million children work instead of attending school. Many in school fail to achieve their potential because of the lack of teachers. Even in developed countries, many young people do not get the education they need to succeed in the high-tech knowledge economy that will determine future competitiveness. There are, however, inspiring examples of partnerships between companies, governments, and civic leaders who are building opportunity in a way that makes sound business sense. PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS: Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah, Queen of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan Marilyn Carlson Nelson, Chairman, Carlson Nicholas D.

Solis, United States Secretary of Labor HUMAN CAPITAL BREAKOUT SESSIONS: TOWNHALL: DEVELOPING THE 21ST CENTURY WORKFORCE Thursday, September 24, 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM ★ New York West, 3rd floor (Sign-up required) From the United States to Uganda, too many schools and communities are failing to equip young people with the education needed to succeed. There are real opportunities for new partnerships to develop skills for the knowledge-based, low-carbon economies of the future, to retrain people who have lost their jobs in the crisis, to create new types of green jobs, and to improve the teaching of science, math, health, and business. Companies have a clear interest in finding ways to develop the human capital not only of their own workers and business partners but also of the young people in the communities and countries in which they operate.

Given that natural disasters are likely to increase with climate change, there is enormous need for governments, foundations, NGOs, and the business community to work together more creatively in three areas of building human capital: First, creating better forms of preparedness. Second, encouraging job creation and entrepreneurship. Third, rebuilding health and education systems. Inspirational examples of such partnerships already exist in Liberia, Haiti, Afghanistan, New Orleans and thousands of other once-devastated communities. This breakout session will focus on how existing collaborative efforts can be taken to scale and new ones implemented.

These practices permeate many of the world’s supply chains, and are an emerging concern in the private sector. Fortunately, corporations, governments, and civil society can take several specific steps to help end these practices and avoid reputational risk and liability. This panel will help educate participants on the key issues, with a focus on practical and constructive solutions.
