Climate Crisis Program Locations - Home Planet Fund

Working on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

The science and data are clear on what needs to be done to combat the polycrisis of climate, biodiversity, conflict, and migration. Below is where we are starting.

Home Planet Fund’s initial geographies are ecologies and interventions that have proven, outsized global impact on greenhouse gas emissions, as well as regeneration of lands and waters. Our programs center the paramount role of local communities in ensuring this work is sustainable and durable for years to come.

The fate of people and planet are inextricably linked. From the grasslands of East Africa which are critical to biodiversity, water catchment and migratory pathways, to the glaciers of Central Asia that impact global weather patterns and provide water for the endangered ecosystems of the largest and most populous continent.

As examples of what is to come, below are our initial investments. Our programs begin as focused grants, then scale into holistic ecosystems with various interventions across multiple countries and communities.
