In October 2024, ATLANTIC FELLOWS from around the world gathered in Bogotá, COLOMBIA, for a Convening on planetary health and a just transition.  

The Convening was the culmination of months-long deliberations by the Fellows, supported in Oxford and London by the ATLANTIC INSTITUTE and the ATLANTIC FELLOWS for SOCIAL and ECONOMIC EQUITY programme's INCUBATION LAB ON CLIMATE JUSTICE.

Co-hosted by the ATLANTIC INSTITUTE and Colombian human rights organisation DEJUSTICIA, whose work includes campaigning for environmental justice, Bogotá provided an ideal setting for the Convening.  Colombia is particularly vulnerable to climate risk, with poor and Indigenous communities the most affected.  Historically dependent on fossil fuels, it is showing great leadership in the action against climate change - it has a bold vision for a post-fossil fuel economy, and remarkable work is being done by local communities to protect Indigenous knowledge and biodiversity.  

The Convening was also timely as it took place a week before the 2024 UN BIODIVERSITY CONFERENCE (COP16) in Cali, Colombia, which a number of Atlantic Fellows went on to attend.  

In this series, we catch up with conversations between Atlantic Fellows and others participating in the CLIMATE ACTION CONVENING.

CONVERSATIONS ALONG THE CAMINO | PART 1/2

In May 2023, ATLANTIC FELLOWS from several equity-focussed programs around the world, joined the WALKING THE TALK FOR DEMENTIA along the Camino in Spain, ending in SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA. They were able to do so because of grants awarded by the ATLANTIC INSTITUTE in Oxford which supports Fellows from the seven global Atlantic programs to connect and collaborate for change.

WALKING THE TALK FOR DEMENTIA was the brainchild of three people, including two Fellows for Equity in Brain Health, Fernando AGUZZOLI-PERES from Brazil and Clara DOMINGUEZ from Santiago de Compostela. They, along with Brazilian Gustavo SAN MARTIN, wanted to organise a conference with a difference where, over four days, people living with dementia, practitioners, researchers, caregivers and Atlantic Fellows walked and talked together to better understand each other’s experiences so that collectively they could create change.

The ATLANTIC INSTITUTE is based in Oxford, England and works to promote connection and collaboration among Fellows from the seven Atlantic equity-focused programmes around the world in the pursuit of fairer, healthier, more inclusive societies.

Tech for Living with, Caring for & Working with Dementia | K Ngcobo, D De Jong, M Chan & T Farombi

The seven ATLANTIC FELLOWS programs and ATLANTIC FELLOWS community were funded by the late billionaire philanthropist, CHUCK FEENEY through his Giving While Living philosophy of philanthropy. Having given away his fortune during his lifetime, the Atlantic Fellows equity-focussed global programs were the “last big bet” of ATLANTIC PHILANTHROPIES, the organisation he founded to disperse his funds.

The programs came to life after several years of consultations, discussions and dedication among the staff of Atlantic Philanthropies, not least its board members and CEO.

As part of our series which features conversations with people closely involved with the original intent of the mission and vision of the global community of Atlantic Fellows, MARY McDONNELL, talks with former members of the board of Atlantic Philanthropies and its CEO about what was on their minds during those years of planning to create and develop the most appropriate equity-focussed programs and the Fellows who would comprise the global community. 

Author of OUR FOUNDING STORY about the origins of the programs, Mary is in a unique position to introduce the following conversation which she hosted in 2022 at the Global Annual Convening of Fellows.

Our Story and What It Means | M McDonnell, P Smitham, S Lawrence-Lightfoot & C Oechsli

CHUCK FEENEY, the billionaire philanthropist who gave his fortune away during his lifetime died a year ago, at the age of 92 on October 9, 2023. One of the last big bets of the donor organisation he founded, ATLANTIC PHILANTHROPIES, was to create seven global ATLANTIC FELLOWS programs, each committed to the eradication of inequities.

One of those programs, the ATLANTIC FELLOWS FOR EQUITY IN BRAIN HEALTH program is housed in the GLOBAL BRAIN HEALTH INSTITUTE at two sites, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAN FRANCISCO and TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN. BRIAN LAWLOR is currently Site Director of the Trinity program and in reflecting on the late CHUCK FEENEY’s contribution, he begins by describing the impact Chuck had on the Irish city of Limerick where Brian grew up.

The billionaire philanthropist who decided to give his wealth away during his lifetime in order to better humanity, died at the age of 92 on October 9, 2023. In this podcast, VICTOR begins by describing the first time he met Chuck with CHRIS OECHSLI, President & CEO of ATLANTIC PHILANTHROPIES, at the GLOBAL BRAIN HEALTH INSTITUTE at UCSF which houses the ATLANTIC FELLOWS FOR EQUITY IN BRAIN HEALTH.

The ATLANTIC INSTITUTE, ATLANTIC PROGRAMS and RHODES SCHOLARSHIP are hosting a series of webinars about our world post COVID-19.

While the coronavirus has physically distanced and isolated millions of people, it has more than ever in our life-times, drawn people and organisations together under a common humanity and a profoundly collective commitment to act. In this series of webinars, we turn our imagination to something (k)new where we remember, reflect and shape what our local and global futures might look like post COVID-19.
