Overview
The Finance Dialogue was created to leverage the collective resources of private philanthropy in order to contribute to changes in financial markets that lead to the redirection of capital flows toward addressing climate change and environmental risks. This means accelerating the energy transition, as well as supporting the decarbonization of the economy as a whole. The Finance Dialogue will achieve this by developing strategies to identify critical leverage points, coordinating grantmaking, and testing which interventions shape conversations about climate risk. The European Climate Foundation will also provide grants to organizations that are part of the Finance Dialogue.
