Climateworks Foundation ​​​

ClimateWorks Foundation is a catalyst for accelerating climate progress, driving bold solutions that benefit people and the planet. They have granted over $2 billion to more than 850 grantees in over 50 countries since 2008.


Howden Foundation collaborates with ClimateWorks in two core ways. First, as a founding member of the Adaptation and Resilience Fund (A&R Fund) – a pooled fund, led by ClimateWorks, which was launched in 2025 following a call-to-action on extreme heat from the UN Secretary-General. The A&R Fund is directing over $50 million in grants towards locally led, people-centered solutions that help communities build resilience and adapt to escalating climate impacts.


Howden Foundation is also a member of the Adaptation and Resilience Collaborative for Funders (ARC) – a platform convened by ClimateWorks to bring funders together to align strategies, share insights, and shape the future of the adaptation field.
