The challenge

If we are to stop climate change, we must use science-based action to invest in the most effective climate solutions as quickly as possible – through philanthropy, private investment, corporate spending, and government funding.

Funders are currently investing hundreds of billions of dollars annually in climate mitigation, unfortunately, funding patterns can often be misaligned with the most urgent and impactful climate solutions. To shape a sustainable future, we must use science to guide capital to the solutions that will yield the greatest benefit in the least amount of time.

The solution

With support from the Bentley Environmental Foundation as a founding partner, Project Drawdown has launched a new programme to help funders across the capital stack align investments with high-impact climate solutions. The Drawdown Capital Coalition connects impact investors, philanthropists, and their advisors to Project Drawdown’s world-class climate science experts who can cut through the confusion and misleading claims in the climate solutions space and serve as trusted, science-based thought partners.

Project Drawdown continues to provide the convening structure and scientific grounding for philanthropic and investment partners to share science-aligned funding opportunities. With the continued support of partners and members, the Capital Coalition will also raise opportunities for individual or coordinated engagement across non-funding levers that can help scale critical climate solutions.
