The Rockefeller Foundation has an ambitious whole-of-foundation strategy that is tackling the many ways a shifting climate impacts vulnerable communities. We channel our resources, expertise, and partners into big bets that seek to improve access to electricity, food, health care, economic opportunity, and more. We do that by identifying new solutions, building unlikely partnerships, and tracking progress toward our goals.
