Giving Compass' Take:

• Here is a list of organizations, networks, and NGOs, mostly in the global South that are successful in advancing climate justice. 

• How are you supporting climate action in your area? 

• Read more about funding coalitions for climate justice.

If you’re reading this it means you’ve survived the annual barrage of email pleas from NGOs such as Avaaz, Greenpeace, WWF, etc. who have at some point captured your contact info and are now hitting you up for a bit of coin. Maybe you relented by donating, maybe you held out.

But either way you probably wondered: is my money making any difference? What impact do they actually make?

We have begun compiling a living list of organizations and networks, predominantly in the global South, who are doing good work that we feel should be supported more. We should offer the caveat of #NotAllBigGreens  —  so some of the better international NGOs are also included in the list below .

The Centre’s Million Climate Jobs project is conducting key research on how to achieve a Just Transition away from the fossil fuel economy.

Centre d’action pour le développement durable des autochtones Pygmées (CADDAP), Cameroon

Asia
