Climate+Philanthropy Learning Journey @Active Philanthropy

Every foundation, regardless of its size, location, or mission, holds the power to contribute to a more climate-resilient future. 🌱 That is why we have developed the #ClimatePhilanthropyCourse for all those who would like to integrate #climatechange into their philanthropic activities. You'll delve into the fundamentals of climate change, grasp the climate crisis's impact on philanthropy, and uncover ways to drive change in three key areas: your #operations , #grantmaking , and #investments .🎯 No prior knowledge of #sustainability or #climate is needed. However, if you already have some experience, you'll build on your existing knowledge and gain new insights into the connection between climate change and #philanthropy . For a detailed overview of the course, take a look at our prospectus. 📥 Philea - Philanthropy Europe Association #PhilanthropyForClimate

What do our #ClimatePhilanthropyCourse participants say about the course? 🌍 We’re pleased to share a testimonial from Cristina Robledano Noreña , highlighting what the course was able to do for her as a Senior Program Manager at Porticus . 💬 Our training program is designed to equip philanthropy practitioners with the knowledge and tools they need to effectively address the climate crisis. Join us to explore new ideas and strategies for meaningful change in your work! 🎯 You can find the link to our course in the comments.🔗 #ClimateAction #Philanthropy #LearningJourney #PhilanthropyForClimate

Philanthropy has a vital role in supporting effective climate solutions and moving beyond carbon offsetting might just be the way. 🎯 In our recent open interactive session of our #ClimatePhilanthropyCourse we examined the limitations of carbon #offsetting . While well-intentioned, carbon credits often overpromise and underdeliver, falling short of the systemic change needed for meaningful climate mitigation. 📊 Instead, we discussed the potential of climate contributions as a new way forward for #foundations . This approach focuses on funding solutions that create long-term change — shaping financial markets, influencing policy, and empowering communities. 🌍 We’re excited to share these insights and inspire further conversations within our community and beyond! Are you interested in exploring an alternative to offsetting? Get in touch! 📧 Daniel Großbröhmer Anneke Kirsch #ClimateAction #PhilanthropyForClimate #Sustainability #SystemicSolutions

Moving beyond offsetting for foundations 🌱 We're excited to invite you to a special open session of our #ClimatePhilanthropyCourse , where you'll get a taste of our unique format and learn something new! 💡 #CarbonOffsetting is an important tool for taking responsibility for climate damage, but with new legislation and concerns about the effectiveness of many projects, foundations need to think beyond traditional approaches. In this session, we'll explore what these developments mean for your foundation and discuss innovative ways to manage emissions. 🎯 We are thrilled to announce that our colleague Daniel Großbröhmer will be joining us to lead the discussion! 🗓 Date: 9 October ⏰ Time: 16:00 - 17:30 CEST 📍 Zoom Sign up here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e2XkPvWN or find the direct Zoom link in the comments if you are seeing this at the last minute.
