It’s time to move further, faster, together.
We’re making progress on climate change. And we must do more to avoid the worst impacts.
The Packard Foundation is deeply invested in slowing climate change because it threatens to undermine all of the issues we care about.
Take a look at our most recent insights on accelerating solutions to climate change. And sign up for the latest updates on our work.

Moving Further, Faster Together on Climate
Halting and reversing deforestation, and looking to our ocean for climate solutions, are critical elements of achieving climate stability. And, there is a role for every organization to play.

No Path to Climate Stability Without Carbon Dioxide Removal
As hard as it is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, an even bigger challenge lies ahead: we now need to remove much of what we’ve already added to the atmosphere. Almost all scientific analyses assume large amounts of carbon dioxide removal in the next decade, and by the second half of the century we must remove much more than we emit.

Foundations Collaborate on Catalytic Financing to Accelerate Climate Action
The Packard and MacArthur Foundations are among a growing group of funders using mission investments to accelerate climate solutions and take them to commercial scale. By harnessing the collective resources of funders, we can fill capital gaps and move the needle in the climate fight beyond what any one foundation could do alone.

The Forested Path to Climate Stability
Halting and reversing deforestation is critical for climate stability—this alone could reduce the world’s net carbon emissions by up to 30 percent. Forests and land offer the most cost-effective way to store more carbon right now. We need to significantly elevate investment in these solutions.

Philanthropy’s Leadership is Essential in the Push for Faster Climate-Change Solutions
The threat of climate change is bearing down on all of us with increasing intensity. At the same time, solutions to climate change represent the single biggest opportunity to generate economic prosperity and improve quality of life in every corner of the world. We need to move further, faster, because when it comes to climate change, going slow is the same as failing.

Want to Combat Climate Change? Take Care of Our Oceans
To avoid the worst consequences of climate change, state and business leaders, climate advocates, and philanthropies must collectively recognize the vital role of the ocean in the earth’s climate cycle. A thriving, resilient ocean holds the potential to mitigate some of the negative consequences of climate change.
