ProjectsConvening The first meeting of CCPAN was held at the Iceland Climate Change Action Summit, 12-15 October 2006. The summit brought together key players from the Young Global Leaders, Climate Change Experts, and Philanthropic communities to explore a variety of possible climate change mitigation initiatives in an informal, action-oriented setting. The CCPAN session provoked interesting discussion and agreement about the need for a permanent international platform to facilitate dialogue, coordination and cooperation amongst philanthropists working to solve the climate crisis. The second meeting of CCPAN was held in London on July 8th 2007 attracting additional foundations and philanthropists to explore strategic frameworks for structuring climate change philanthropy. The meeting also provided the opportunity for participants to learn more about each others projects and discuss ways to collaborate and coordinate their work. At CCPAN’s core is the desire to remain a global network, so the third meeting will take place on September 15th in Taipei, Taiwan. This will give participants the opportunity to reach out to and learn from the philanthropic work being done in Asia on climate change, as well as create new bridges and partnerships across the globe.
Subgroups CCPAN will identify and develop sub groups to cultivate collaboration in key themes addressing the climate change challenge. Several are already under development: government policy, green building, business investment, and media & awareness. If you are interested in joining any of these groups or would like to initiate a new one please contact us at ccpan@khemkafoundation.org to let us know.
Strategic Framework for Climate Change Philanthropy CCPAN seeks to aggregate the various strategic frameworks for approaching climate change funding into one framework that philanthropists can utilize to inform their giving in this area. CCPAN will develop a publication that provides this intellectual framing, a menu of options and case studies of philanthropic programs to illustrate the menu. Please contact us at ccpan@khemkafoundation.org to be involved with both the top level of framing the analytical arena, but also in providing powerful case studies. The aim is for this publication to be disseminated to the entire global philanthropic community as a resource for promoting strategic philanthropy in the area.
