Story

Each April, Earth Day brings lots of talk and little action. Meanwhile, incredible climate groups don’t get the funding they need.

This March, help us raise money for some of the world’s best climate charities. Then join us for an event to recognise real impact.

Did you know that less than 2% of global philanthropy goes to climate mitigation? In advance of Earth Day 2024, we’re raising £150,000 for six of the world’s highest impact climate charities.

Meeting our goal (£150k) will:

1. Protect 9,542 acres of rainforest in the Democratic Republic of Congo through Rainforest Trust, storing over 2.17 million tonnes of CO2e.

2. Grow 8,333 of the right trees in the right places with Trillion Trees, helping bring back vital habitat for endangered jaguars, eastern chimpanzees and Goodfellow’s tree kangaroo.

3. Help Blue Marine Foundation’s policy team advocate for an end to overfishing and deliver appropriate protection for 283,000 km2 of UK waters.

4. Help Whale and Dolphin Conservation protect Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs) in the Abrolhos Bank and Northeast Arabian Sea.

5. Allow Global Canopy to conduct 15 assessments of companies' actions on deforestation in their supply chains and help launch a new Accountability Hub for its innovative data tools.

6. Empower environmental lawyers at ClientEarth to continue advocating for EU climate actions, including opposition to corporate greenwashing and more effective corporate sustainability due diligence.

100% of every donation will be split equally between these six best-in-class climate charities, with no deductions.

All donors receive exclusive impact reports every six months and will be invited to an in-person event in London. Learn more and get in touch: www.globalreturnsproject.earth
