Global warming is perhaps the most difficult environmental challenge of our time, and the philanthropic world has a vital role to play in combating it.

With its support to the ClimateWorks Foundation, the Packard Foundation joins other international foundations and nonprofit organizations that are advancing innovative policies to encourage low-carbon, energy-efficient activities to prevent the planet from warming more than two degrees Celsius—the amount scientists deem to be a threshold beyond which warming trends will be increasingly difficult to stop.

The ClimateWorks Foundation is a global effort modeled on the successful track record of the Energy Foundation in the United States, an institution which we have been proud to support for more than ten years and which is a critical regional partner in the ClimateWorks network.
