Can #philanthropy rise to the challenge? @philxbuchanan, @naomiorensten, & Katarina Malmgren discuss findings from CEP's latest research in the context of recent developments on #ClimateAction, calling on #philanthropy to play the unique role only it can: thehill.com/opinion/energy-e…

Can philanthropy rise to the challenge of combating climate change?

Climate change mitigation represents less than 2 percent of total philanthropic giving.

Fascinating. I'd underscore that guilt "doesn't necessarily put [those who feel it] into action." It's simplistic & not always productive. Better to recognize the privilege & consistently work toward justice thru money, voice & humble action. theguardian.com/society/2022…

Sobrato Philanthropies is proud to support @Aclima and its launch of its hyperlocal network that measures #airpollution and #climatechange emissions on every block of all 101 cities in the #BayArea. @bydarrylfears for @washingtonpost covered the launch: wapo.st/3NBWQP5

Lessons here, beyond COVID. “interpersonal trust — a belief that others would do what was right not just for the individual but for the community — saved lives.” When people actively undermine trust in government, science & each other, this happens nytimes.com/2022/05/15/world…

“‘Care is so undervalued…This was all about the power of care.’” And, perhaps, the power of adaptability.” We think we are so innovative and adaptive here, but are we, in the ways that matter for the collective whole?
