Priorities for Strategic Climate and Environmental Philanthropy

Climate disasters—including intensified droughts, wildfires, storms, and flooding—are on the rise globally, with cascading negative impacts on communities and ecosystems.

Philanthropists can play a crucial role in addressing these challenges, but currently, only about 2 percent of global philanthropic contributions are directed toward climate mitigation. Increased strategic giving is needed across many areas of climate and environmental initiatives.

Priorities for Strategic Climate and Environmental Philanthropy, a new report from the Milken Institute, offers guidance for philanthropists looking to begin or deepen their climate and environmental giving. Drawing on insights from over fifty expert interviews, as well as the Institute’s ongoing climate and environmental work, the report presents ten recommendations for philanthropists and highlights four strategic areas where philanthropic capital can maximize impact. With these insights, philanthropists can help remove financial and logistical barriers, scale proven solutions, and create new opportunities to address climate challenges.
