Climate plays a crucial role, influencing our health, financial stability, quality of life, and overall economy. Indeed, the growing impacts of climate change are increasingly jeopardizing household economic security and racial and gender wealth equity. More frequent disasters and ongoing intense conditions are highlighting the urgent need for grantmakers to join communities, the private sector, nonprofits, and public agencies in reducing the economic impacts of climate change now and for the long term while ensuring that the transition to clean energy is inclusive and affordable

Philanthropy can ensure that climate-responsive solutions are inclusive and affordable through grants, investments and other actions that prioritize those most impacted by disinvestment. A new report, Climate Resilience and Economic Security: How Philanthropy Can Drive Inclusive Solutions from Asset Funders Network outlines a range of intersectional opportunities for funders to advance economic security and climate resilience equitably for people everywhere across the country.
