Climate

At Philea, we want to play our part in increasing the share and quality of philanthropy’s contribution towards tackling the climate and other environmental crises by strengthening philanthropic infrastructure, generating evidence and encouraging peer-learning.

The impact of environmental crises, like climate change and biodiversity loss, are being felt by people in every part of the world. It impacts our health, our jobs, our education, the food we eat, the places we live. And yet, it does not impact us all equally. Environmental crises disproportionately impact vulnerable and disadvantaged groups, and the communities who have contributed the least face the greatest risks.

Philanthropy can play a crucial role, catalysing much-needed transformations that work for people and for our planet. At Philea, we want to play our part in increasing the share and quality of philanthropy’s contribution towards tackling the climate and other environmental crises by strengthening philanthropic infrastructure, generating evidence and encouraging peer-learning.

We also pay attention to how the climate emergency interacts with Philea’s other 2 cross-cutting focus areas: democracy and equality.
