To achieve global climate goals, we need to get local. We want to drive both national level ambitions and local action by surfacing the reality of private sector transitions on the ground. During #NYCW2024, Climate Arc, and ClimateWorks Foundation joined forces with several thematic partners to explore ways of building richer and more context-specific climate transition analysis.? ?? Representatives from across philanthropy, non-profits, academia, and financial institutions came together to unpack the gaps and challenges involved in localizing analysis; discussing possible solutions, areas for stronger coordination, and the highest impact actions we could achieve together. ??The dialogue was clear:? radical collaboration is key to power the localised transition analysis needed to meet global climate goals and ensure rapid change.? For a detailed overview of the workshop discussions, read our article below. By addressing priority actions together, we can create a more detailed, context-specific approach to unlocking climate transitions that bridge the gap between global objectives and local realities. A huge thank you to our thematic partners for driving these conversations, we look forward to continuing the work, together!

Localized transition pathways, especially at the national level, are essential for meaningful climate action that respects and integrates unique local contexts. In Asia, the priority is to develop pathways that position Asian markets as leading exporters to global markets, allowing them to drive crucial progress in sector-wide #decarbonization. This focus remains at the core of AIGCC’s work as we support Asian economies in aligning with global climate goals.

Seniors for Climate Action is a federal 501(c)4 not-for-profit corporation that is dedicated to providing the information necessary for seniors to make informed choices about how to take personal and immediate action to address the issue of climate change. To this end, Seniors for Climate Action has developed the website: SeniorClimateAction.org. We believe that climate change is the greatest threat that humanity has ever faced and that the current efforts to address this issue fall woefully short of the immense changes in human society that will be necessary to halt climate change before it becomes catastrophic and irreversible. We further believe that humanity needs to urgently and dramatically lower its overall introduction of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses into the Earth's atmosphere. Primarily, we believe that humanity must end its dependence on fossil fuels as rapidly as possible and we believe that senior citizens can lead the way on this issue.

How do we make a bigger impact? By supporting organizations’ success. Through the improvement of operational, programmatic, and financial capacities, nonprofit organizations can enhance their ability to manage funding, track data, build a skilled workforce, and ultimately make a greater impact on addressing climate change. Strategic Program 10: Community-Based Organization (CBO) Capacity Building Program (SP 10) was unanimously approved by Portland City Council today, Thursday, June 20. SP 10 will offer a multi-year cohort program for CBOs that includes training, technical assistance, consultation, operational funding, staff support, and more. The program equips organizations with resources and support to help them fulfill their mission and enable us to achieve ours. With 16 strategic programs and over $180 million in Community Responsive Grants in the Climate Investment Plan, we’re moving toward a more climate-resilient Portland.

Get Your Beyond Grants: Diversifying Revenue for Non-profit Sustainability Book Non-profit organizations rely on diverse funding sources to support their operations, as depending on one or two sources can be precarious for long-term sustainability. Grants are a common source of funding for non-profits, as they can provide significant amounts of money to support specific programs or projects. However, grant funding can be competitive, and not all non-profits may have the capacity to apply for and secure grants successfully. Individual donations are another important source of funding for non-profits. These donations may come from individuals who are passionate about a specific cause and want to support the non-profit's mission. However, relying solely on individual donations can be challenging, as there may be fluctuations in giving due to economic conditions or changes in donor interests. Corporate partnerships can also provide funding opportunities for non-profits. These partnerships may involve sponsorships, in-kind donations, or cause-related marketing campaigns. However, corporate partnerships can be complex to navigate, and non-profits must ensure that their values align with those of their corporate partners. Some non-profits may generate revenue through earned income ventures, such as selling products or services related to their mission. While this can provide a steady source of income, non-profits must balance their financial goals with their charitable purposes. By diversifying their funding sources, non-profits can mitigate risks and ensure their sustainability over the long term. This book contains things to consider if you are serious about generating funds. https://lnkd.in/dea6qeN7? #NPO #Sustainability
