How philanthropies can take the lead in climate action – Carbon Direct
Philanthropic organizations are uniquely positioned to lead in climate action by implementing science-based carbon management practices, addressing climate risks to the communities they serve, and aligning these actions with their core missions. However, they face challenges such as the lack of tailored guidelines for emissions measurement, complexities in calculating financed emissions, and concerns about the integrity of carbon credits. Carbon Direct published “How philanthropies can take the lead in climate action” to better identify how philanthropies can effectively manage their emissions and inspire broader collective action against climate change.
