Unlocking philanthropy to meet India's climate goals
Hindustan Times Ludhiana|December 25, 2024
India's climate crisis is not a distant threat; it's a stark reality impacting millions across the country.
Neera Nundy Shaifalika Panda

That said, it is the marginalized—farmers, low-income communities, women, and the displaced—who often bear a disproportionate burden. In a nation where 65% of the population relies on agriculture, every degree of rising temperature affects livelihoods. India's climate crisis demands immediate, bold action. While the government, along with corporates and civil society organizations, is working to address this challenge, the scale of the problem requires a multi-dimensional approach to narrow the gap between solutions and response.

Empowering grassroots movements, channeling resources to often overlooked segments, and framing policies and on-ground initiatives are at the core of accelerating climate solutions. By providing flexible, long-term funding, and amplifying the voices on these issues, philanthropy can be the force behind building more resilient and sustainable communities. To truly unlock its potential in advancing India's climate goals, philanthropy must focus on key strategic areas that can drive community resilience.
