Abstract
The RBF Annual Review is an online publication of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. As a reflection of our commitment to accountability, transparency, and sustainability, it was created in 2010 to replace the printed versions of the annual and statistical reviews of the Fund. It provides readers with annual highlights of the Fund’s programs, grantmaking, and finances.
Each year, the annual review focuses on an issue central to the Fund's mission. This year’s cover story, "The Climate for U.S.-China Cooperation," centers on the RBF’s Southern China program’s efforts to build understanding and facilitate cooperation between the United States and China in pursuing effective policy and action on energy and climate challenges. With China and the United States accounting for 40 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, the stability of earth’s climate depends on cooperation between the two countries.
And be sure to listen to the two Southern China slidecasts. Included is a discussion with Richard G. Rockefeller, chair; Wendy O’Neill, trustee; and Stephen B. Heintz, president of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund about the Rockefeller family’s history in China, and the evolution of the Fund’s Southern China program. The final slidecast features Shenyu Belsky, director of the Fund's Southern China program, and two RBF grantees—Ma Jun of the Institute for Public and Environmental Affairs and Alex Wang of the Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc.—discussing the importance of environmental information disclosure.
