The climate crisis demands that we move from commitment to action. We’ve refreshed our Global Climate strategy to meet this crucial moment. 🌍 Our goal: keep global temperature rise well below 2°C while ensuring a sustainable and equitable transition to a low-carbon economy. Our updated approach focuses on: 1️⃣ Advancing durable and equitable mitigation in high-emission geographies 2️⃣ Bolstering cross-cutting, multinational efforts on electrification, workforce development, critical minerals, climate finance, and communications 3️⃣ Strengthening the broader ecosystem of climate philanthropy Key to our strategy is collaboration with governments, industries, and communities to accelerate emissions reductions. Equally important is an outcome in which people and communities around the world benefit and have the support and resources to contribute to a flourishing planet.

Public policy advocate working in philanthropy to strengthen U.S. democracy in a fashion that serves all Americans. Author of two books, TED speaker, Cranky Dad substacker.
The scenes from President Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania today are horrifying. We at the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation extend our sympathies to the families of the victims, our wishes for a speedy recovery for former President Trump and all those injured, and our gratitude to law enforcement for their swift efforts to keep people safe. Violence has no place in our American political system. We must all do everything we can in this terrible moment to ensure that it does not further divide us, and recommit ourselves to defending, strengthening and improving our democracy. -Ali Noorani, US Democracy Program Director William and Flora Hewlett Foundation

Today, the Supreme Court issued 6-3 rulings overturning Chevron deference, longstanding principles established over four decades ago recognizing the value of expertise held within federal agencies. These principles enabled civil servants to bring their deep scientific and technical knowledge to the development of regulations in line with laws passed by Congress to protect the public. Read our Environment Program Director Jonathan Pershing’s statement on how these decisions harm nonprofits’ work and weaken the ability of government to apply sound expertise to address the needs of people, communities, and the planet: https://lnkd.in/guGtvZ37

Our partners at Humboldt Area Foundation just launched the first-of-its-kind Klamath River Fund! The fund, which launches with over $10 million, will support local efforts to restore the landscape and communities around the Klamath River. We’re proud to support this work bringing Tribal and rural communities together to lead and shape the region’s future. Our Andrea Keller Helsel said, “It’s a new model for how philanthropy can be a partner in the longer-term work of healing nature and communities. Dam removal was only the first step; now we will see the transformations that are possible when Tribal and rural communities are resourced to come together and co-create a new vision for the region.” Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gsE9p8-n
