One Earth Philanthropy

The solutions for the climate crisis already exist, and the latest science shows we can achieve the 1.5°C goal through three pillars of action – a shift to 100% renewable energy by 2050, protection and restoration of half of the world’s lands and oceans, and a transition to regenerative, climate-friendly agriculture. To achieve these goals, we must rapidly scale philanthropic capital to meet critical funding gaps over the coming decade.

Less than 2% of global giving supports environmental issues and climate change, and only one-quarter of that funding makes it to on-the-ground climate solutions. And less than 0.2% of foundation goes to supporting women-led initiatives. One Earth’s goal is to inspire greater ambition and collaboration in the philanthropic sector, and to drive urgently needed resources where they’re needed most – to frontline leaders and organizations directly implementing climate change solutions.

One Earth launched a first-of-its-kind online global database (https://www.oneearth.org/project-marketplace/) featuring a growing curation of impactful projects around the world that are directly working to solve the climate crisis and are in need of additional funding. The projects are organized through a biogeographical framework organized by three main solutions pathways of One Earth — Energy Transition, Nature Conservation, and Regenerative Agriculture — connecting capital with changemakers on the ground. The Marketplace is a vehicle to deliver funding to these projects and to galvanize additional resources from funders at all levels.

Our marketplace of climate solutions has grown to showcase over 100 placed-based projects that are working to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C and create a just and sustainable future. These projects can be explored in our online filterable database (https://www.oneearth.org/project-marketplace) and on our interactive navigator sphere (https://www.oneearth.org/navigator).
