Rockefeller Foundation Launches New Climate and Resilience Initiative
Foundation: Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, Rockefeller Foundation
The Rockefeller Foundation has recently announced a new climate and resilience initiative focused on strengthening global communities to become more resilient.
The Rockefeller Foundation is initially dedicating $8 million in funding to support the work of chief resilience officers and members of the 100 Resilient Cities (100RC) network, which is disbanding this month. The initiative will be led by Elizabeth Yee, who formerly served as 100RC's vice president of resilience finance.
The initiative aims to identify, design and support opportunities that increase climate and resilience capital into financial solutions, companies and projects.
These plans will help to improve the lives of the most vulnerable populations across the globe. Key areas to be addressed include food, health, power, economic mobility and innovation.
The climate and resilience initiative is one of the three separate pathways to which the Rockefeller Foundation announced it would transition its urban resilience efforts.
The other two are partnerships with the Atlantic Council to launch the Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center and support local resilience efforts with the U.S. Jobs and Economic Opportunity Initiative.
