Green Philanthropy: Funding charity solutions to environment problems

Charities are making a crucial contribution to tackling environmental problems, as pioneers, leaders, managers and guardians. They flag up vital issues, produce ground-breaking research and reports, and develop and implement innovative solutions. Much of this work leads to policy action by governments, and changes in business practices and consumer behaviour. Charities also encourage and foster a willingness to protect and care for the environment at all levels of society.
