[OSX-Users] USB-c to mini DP connector

I would say

to start with.

You could chain one of these:

to one of these:

The StarTech adapter can get its power from the USB-A socket in the 
Apple adapter.

But there's probably a much easier route.

(I bought one such USB-c adaptor, works fine with display, but doesn't power the mac, which therefore runs out of battery before lunch time.) I suppose that a newer display would be able to power the MacBook straight through the thunderbolt,
