Wednesday, November 12 - applying a 'global warming filter' to your philanthropy

A global warming filter (more commonly known as a Climate Change Filter) can be applied to your philanthropy to test out its robustness in the face of climate change.

As we all know global climate change is not an environmental issue but an unprecedented challenge affecting every sector of society:
Education, Health, Social Services, International Development, Animal Protection, Urban issues, Forests, Conservation, Water, etc.. (See the in-depth report from CEGN covering each of these areas, which can be found on our website: http://GlobalWarmingOpportunitiesGuide.org. Click on the Resources Tab.)
If you are currently a donor to one of these areas, we’re not suggesting you stop giving and immediately re-direct your philanthropy to fighting climate change. However by applying a global warming filter to your philanthropy, you can make a big difference.

Focus on projects that take into consideration global warming, ask organizations you support if they are revising their mandates to include climate change impacts.
