Description

The MacArthur Foundation’s Climate Solutions grant program is dedicated to addressing the global climate crisis by supporting actions that keep Earth’s temperature rise below two degrees Celsius. The initiative emphasizes four main strategies: shifting political discourse, advancing and enforcing climate-friendly energy policies and regulatory actions, expanding climate financing and building a robust funding community, and supporting grassroots power building. The program focuses on projects that mitigate climate impacts, particularly those that exacerbate inequality and threaten the fundamental human right to a safe, clean, healthy, and sustainable environment. Special emphasis is placed on supporting organizations and communities disproportionately affected by climate change, including communities of color, Indigenous peoples, rural areas, and displaced workers.
