Responding to ‘Much Alarm, Less Action’: A Blog Series

CEP’s recent report, Much Alarm, Less Action: Foundations & Climate Change, revealed that while 60 percent of foundation leaders view climate change as an extremely urgent issue, most non-climate funders view the issue as outside the scope of their mission, and less than two percent of global philanthropic giving goes toward climate change mitigation, according to ClimateWorks Foundation.

After releasing the report, we solicited the insight, advice, and perspectives of leaders in philanthropy — both climate funders and funder groups and non-climate funders who have begun to explore climate funding — on the CEP blog. Find their reflections and advice in the blog series collected in full here:
