PART 1: The Purposeful Investor
Your Worth And Power of the Collective
Considers how environmental issues intertwine with all aspects of life and how funding environmental causes can impact various social issues like poverty alleviation, food security, migration, and human rights.
This Environmental Funders Network briefing explains that environmental issues are deeply interwoven with health, food, migration, poverty, human rights and other social causes, framing climate change as a justice issue and a “stress multiplier,” noting that only around 8.5% of foundation funding currently goes to environmental causes and offering practical resources and guidance for funders to align their giving with climate and nature impacts; it’s included to reinforce the book’s 'Your Worth And Power of the Collective' chapter by showing why individual philanthropic choices—when coordinated and informed—must integrate environmental considerations to achieve systemic, justice-oriented impact.
