This Candid Learning field guide calls on funders to play a role in changing the perilous trajectory we are on by incorporating not only climate, but also climate justice into their portfolios. Intended for grantmakers who are new to this work as well as seasoned grantmakers who want to deepen their practice, this guide seeks to:
— Define key terms and lift up the ways in which the climate crisis
disproportionately affects particular populations and geographies
— Identify common barriers and contradictions that get in the way of more holistic, justice-centered philanthropic strategies to address the climate crisis
— Illustrate how foundations are integrating climate justice into their grantmaking portfolios, both through examples and in-depth case studies
— Describe the critical role intermediaries play in advancing climate justice
— Outline opportunities to move the needle on philanthropic support for climate justice
