The International Philanthropy Commitment on Climate Change invites every foundation to make a shared commitment to sustainability, regardless of their objectives or their geographical location. The initiative recognises the urgency of the fight against climate change, believing that foundations and other organisations active within the philanthropic sphere could have a substantial positive impact on climate change. The initiative is backed by WINGS, a network of philanthropic organisations working to ensure philanthropy functions as a catalyst for social progress. For foundations in Europe, the Philanthropy Coalition for Climate by Dafne, the Donors and Foundations Network in Europe, is already in place.
