Future proof homes, offices and public infrastructure are essential to the well-being of #PeopleAndPlanet, so why do they get so little attention from climate philanthropy? The transformation of the built environment this decade can massively accelerate efforts to reduce emissions and meet the 1.5C #GlobalWarming limit 🌡️ Alongside the Laudes Foundation, we’ve assembled a group of climate philanthropies aiming to tackle the built environment challenge and fast-track action towards a just transition. Liz McKeon, Director of Programme (Planet) at the IKEA Foundation, and Amol Mehra, Director of Industry Transformation at the Laudes Foundation advocate urgently for more philanthropic funding in their joined op-ed here: 👇 https://lnkd.in/eZGEdraN #BuiltEnvironmentTransformation #ClimateSolutions #ClimateChange

As I am watching the registrations start to trickle in for this course, I am getting more excited and encouraged about the work we are trying to do: bring food-related impact to life through #climatephilanthropy. One of the other things I want to flag for you all as well is this course will focus specifically on relationships-based philanthropy strategy which will include how we think about #corporatephilanthropy in the equation as well. Let me know if you have questions and I can't wait to welcome you in a few short weeks!
As 2030 quickly approaches with many UN Sustainable Development Goals to be met, #philanthropic dollars going into climate change mitigation efforts are increasing. Our Climate Messaging Mastery Course for Food Nonprofits is going to help you and your organization harness climate dollars to further the mission of your food-focused organization, which in turn will be working to meet these SDGs. There is a significant opportunity for #nonprofits to meet their fundraising goals through #climate funding pathways. Course starts March 26 and we can't wait for you to join!

The #ClimateCrisis has never been higher in our awareness, yet charitable donations to environmental organizations have dropped over the last few years. Daniel Stein, the founder of Giving Green, and I sat down with Alison Stine, at the Nonprofit Quarterly to discuss the challenges and opportunities in climate philanthropy, meaningful giving strategies, and the importance of donor trust to address the underfunding of climate policy advocacy and tech innovation. Together, we are working to highlight high-impact climate organizations on Charity Navigator. #GivingGreen #ClimateChange #Philanthropy https://lnkd.in/eEyuvyMY
