Environment and climate change giving trends 2024
This report offers a comprehensive assessment of national and global philanthropic giving to climate and environment, summarising the megatrends influencing best practices in climate and environmental philanthropy. Its findings show a pivotal shift towards greater climate and environmental giving in recent years, prompted by a global awakening to the urgency of the climate and biodiversity crises. This growing philanthropic focus is observed in global and local giving trends, with public and private donors becoming increasingly committed to funding a more just, sustainable and resilient future. While this is a promising development, there are signs that funding growth is plateauing despite the quantum of philanthropy directed toward climate and environment remaining small compared to other funding areas.
