Future Cooperation Podcast - fillanthropy ep2 | Global Cooperation Institute

In this episode of the Future Cooperation podcast, we explore a difficult but urgent question: what happens when philanthropy begins replacing public leadership instead of supporting it?After returning from the Skoll World Forum in Oxford, we dive into the growing role of private foundations, billionaire donors, and philanthropic institutions in shaping global responses to crises like climate change, pandemics, inequality, and digital governance.Introducing the concept of “Fillanthropy” — philanthropy that fills the gaps left behind by retreating governments — this episode examines the risks of relying on private generosity to solve public problems.From vaccine distribution and climate finance to AI governance and multilateral institutions, this conversation challenges the idea that philanthropy alone can sustain global cooperation.Because while innovation and generosity matter, lasting solutions require accountable public leadership, democratic legitimacy, and strong international institutions.🎙️ Future Cooperation PodcastHosted by the Global Cooperation Institute#FutureCooperation #Philanthropy #GlobalGovernance #InternationalCooperation #ClimateChange #GlobalHealth #PublicPolicy #Multilateralism #Podcast
