Climate change is the most dire threat humanity has ever known. But solutions exist to save our planet – from the frontlines, to policies, to international action. Below are a few resources that we believe have ideas and research worth considering as you make decisions on the actionable steps you plan to take to save our planet.
- Global Deal for Nature: Developed by the scientific community in partnership with our friends at the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, this resource provides clear action and steps to reverse climate impacts, making strong connections between climate change and biodiversity loss. The paper calls for policymakers to be more ambitious in their policies and actions, and also calls for the titling of Indigenous territories, a step forward in protecting land, forests, and resources that help reduce carbon emissions.
- Soil to Sky: Climate Solutions That Work: This report, produced by The CLIMA Fund, connects the dots between seemingly small grassroots solutions, carbon mitigation, and building rights-based resilience for the long-term. It brings together the best available research to demonstrate how blending traditional and local knowledge with advocacy and alliance building can create lasting change in all levels of climate change decision-making.
- Project Drawdown: Based off of research conducted by a group of verified experts, this book identifies 100 solutions to address climate change. From everything to addressing the important role women and girls play in the reversing climate impacts, to the benefits of solar farms and the management of Indigenous lands, Project Drawdown makes strong cases for viable solutions.
- Our Voices, Our Environment: The State of Funding for Women’s Environmental Action: Global Greengrants Fund and Prospera International Network of Women’s Fund released Our Voices, Our Environment: The State of Funding for Women’s Environmental Action. The publication is the first ever comprehensive mapping of funding in support of women’s environmental action. It includes case studies and success stories of women-led environmental projects, and guidance from women’s rights activists for funders that want to strengthen their existing grantmaking and take further action.
Want to take action now? Through our grantmaking, Global Greengrants Fund supports projects to restore forests, resist harmful development, and advocate for smart climate policies. We invest in the people who have the most to lose – and who are acting now. Invest today in local people with on-the-ground solutions to create lasting change.
