Purpose & Role
This Impact Area focuses on helping people and ecosystems adapt to climate change while accelerating mitigation through blue carbon, nature-based solutions, and system-wide change.
We work with frontline communities, policy actors, and scientific partners to develop just, values-based responses that hold space for both urgency and hope.
How We Work
We blend science with creativity, and local knowledge with policy expertise. Whether restoring mangroves or informing adaptation strategies, we seek out solutions that build long-term resilience and challenge short-term thinking.
Our projects don’t just react to climate risks they aim to shift the structures that drive them.
Why It Matters
Climate change affects every system we depend on. Tackling it means more than cutting emissions it means shifting power, restoring ecosystems, and building solidarity across scales.
Strategic Focus
- Resilience and adaptation
- Transformative responses to environmental change
- Transformative thought leadership
