Delivering on the ambitions of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris climate agreement will require accelerating public-private cooperation and deploying new technological solutions. The Sustainable Development Impact Summit aims to advance both by providing a multistakeholder platform for concerted action. 

The World Economic Forum will work closely with leaders from government, business, academia and civil society who will be present in New York during the United Nations General Assembly to:

• Increase the impact of existing multistakeholder initiatives
• Catalyse new partnerships and alliances
• Explore how the advanced technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution could be better leveraged for sustainable development.

Sirius XM at the Comedy Cellar in 2013

Before I had kids I used to photograph much more entertainment jobs in the evening and some of these Sirius XM comedy nights were some of my favorite. Especially this particular evening in 2013 where Matt Damon was the surprise guest and Amy Schumer did some incredible stand up routine.

City Harvest Skip Lunch Fight Hunger

You spend $15 on lunch because you live in New York City. You feed 60 kids with $15 because you’re a New Yorker. And with nearly 420,000 in our city facing hunger, you know you’re going to do something about it.
