Climate resilience for the Global Majority, built by those who need it.
We fund grassroots organizations, primarily across the Global South, and partly in the Global North, that are building resilience towards extreme heat, drought, and coastal hazards through nature-based, digital, community-based, and risk-transfer solutions.
Three climate hazards
We fund practical solutions that help communities prepare for, withstand and recover from the hazards already reshaping lives across the Global Majority.
Rising temperatures threaten health, livelihoods and productivity, above all for outdoor workers and people in informal settlements. We fund projects that keep communities cool, safe and working.
- Cooling shelters
- Heat early warning
- Urban greening

Longer dry spells undermine food security, water supply and economic stability. We fund projects that help communities secure their water and harvests.
- Watershed restoration
- Community water storage
- Drought insurance

Sea level rise, storms and erosion damage the coastal ecosystems that livelihoods depend on, and drive displacement. We fund projects that protect coastlines and the people who live on them.
- Mangrove restoration
- Storm early warning
- New income for fishing communities

Four types of solutions
Across all three hazards, we back four types of solutions, led by the communities closest to the risk.
- How we work
Fast, trust-based, transparent
Flexible and quick trust-based grants, light-touch reporting and full transparency for funders.
