Climate action

Philanthropic funders and grantmakers are increasingly funding initiatives that help us to adapt to or mitigate the impacts of climate change, taking steps to reduce the environmental impact of their operations, and influencing others to act. This page has been created as an information source to support funders in their work.

If you are an individual or organisation interested in giving in this area and would like to be part of our membership to meet and share with others, contact us.
