Why we are recruiting

Within the World Economic Forum’s Centre for Nature and Climate (CNC), we are setting up a new agenda to develop thought and action leadership in philanthropy, with the aim to catalyse impact at speed and scale through multi-stakeholder collaboration to achieve critical goals across the climate and nature agenda.

According to the Climate Works Foundation in 2021 out of all philanthropic giving globally, less than 2% goes to climate mitigation (According to ClimateWorks Foundation).

Through exclusive regional strategic partnerships, the Initiative will seek to drive impact at the regional level while ensuring regional integration and representation at the global level, through three levers of activity:
- Thought leadership: sharing and exchanging knowledge and insights on pertinent issues on the nature and climate agenda.- New partnerships through communities of purpose and action: bringing together- stakeholders and champions of the nature and climate agenda.- Programmes to accelerate regional nature and climate action: supporting curation and community building.
