New Philea Report: How to Integrate Climate into Your Philanthropic Programmes
Climate change impacts the work of every foundation – from health and education to social justice, culture and community. Integrating climate into their programmatic work allows foundations to mitigate growing risks, while unlocking co-benefits that strengthen their mission.
Philea’s latest report „How to Integrate Climate into Your Philanthropic Programmes: What Foundations Need to Know, and Where to Begin“ supports foundations to begin or deepen their climate integration journey, in a way that aligns with their organisational values, assets and experience.
Key takeaways from the report
- Climate change is an existential global risk. Intertwined with local issues, it directly threatens philanthropic progress. If not addressed, poorly designed climate solutions could further deepen social inequality.
- The more we can bring climate into our thinking, and the bigger and more long-lasting the decisions we make, the bigger the potential impact of our climate integration. This report explores entry points for climate integration in a foundation’s purpose, strategy, programmes, project decisions and support for partners.
- Integration depends on a deepening understanding of climate change at all levels. Foundations must embed climate knowledge across their governance, staff, and grantees to ensure informed decision-making.
