‘Shaping Global Governance,

Climate and Nature’

Carajás Roundtable banner

Hosted by Vale, the Foundation’s major global meeting for the year will take place in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest in Carajás, Brazil, from 12-15 August 2025.

The Carajás Roundtable is the centrepiece of our Global Project, Shaping Global Governance, Climate and Nature,’ and builds on the momentum established at its launch in Rome 2024, where ‘business with purpose’ was recognised as a critical pillar in shaping and achieving global climate and nature goals.

Who we are

The Global Foundation is a not-for-profit and non-partisan international member organisation supported by influential people around the world. Originating in Australia, the Global Foundation has become a trusted global network organisation, enabling a relatively small but growing group of prominent citizens from many walks of life and many parts of the world to align and work together to foster dialogue, seek consensus, and strive towards the global common good.
 
The Foundation convenes global dialogue in various formats, from high-level roundtables to more intimate sessions around specific issues. Our cumulative discussions focus on securing agreement and pathways to enduring solutions to pressing global challenges such as climate change, geopolitical fracturing, and economic inequality.

As an independent organisation, we are sustained solely by private sponsorships and philanthropic contributions from our members, who extend from individuals to corporations and universities.
 
The Global Foundation is led by Secretary General, Steve Howard, and guided by a Global Advisory Council. Our small secretariat is based in Australia.
