Climate philanthropy and funding transformative change. How can we ensure capital flows into the right solution spaces?

The Futuring Podcast

Just 2% of philanthropic giving goes to climate action globally and only 3% of this 2% goes to Africa. How can we create system change strategies as funders and investors to support the change we need to see over the coming decade?
In the first episode of the Futuring Podcast, Ivana Gazibara, Director of the Futures Centre powered by Forum for the Future, talks to Will Dawson, Director of Climate Philanthropy at Impatience Earth.
Tune in to hear why it's important to sometimes let go of carbon savings and tune into your passions as a funder, why the next generation of philanthropists is a key leverage point, and why we need to fund more protest movements and whistleblowers.
