Our commitment to a thriving climate future

Advancing solutions around the world that benefit people and the planet.

At ClimateWorks Foundation, we are driven by our vision of creating a thriving planet for all living beings for generations to come.

At the center of this vision are people across the globe who are being devastated by the impacts of climate change and who are crucial to a thriving future. To get there, we are committed to transforming systems and boldly engaging in new, innovative pathways to meet our mission, adhere to our vision, and live our values.

We believe that the most effective and durable climate solutions are those that bring real benefits to the people and communities they’re intended to serve – solutions that not only respond to the climate crisis but also support economic opportunities, public health, jobs, and development goals. 

We work globally with funders, grantees, and other partners to accelerate high-impact climate solutions that deliver real benefits to people, their communities, and economies. Because climate change affects people in different ways depending on where they live and what resources they have access to, we listen closely, collaborate deeply, and co-create strategies and solutions that are responsive to country priorities and local and regional contexts. We remain committed to the collaborations and forward-thinking of leaders who are driving transformational change. We blend established efforts with new approaches, and we will keep evolving as we continue to listen, learn, and act.

This approach is central to our mission to end the climate crisis by amplifying the power of philanthropy.
