The Rockefeller Foundation is a pioneering philanthropy built on collaborative partnerships at the frontiers of science, technology, and innovation that enable individuals, families, and communities to flourish. Today, the Foundation's investments focus on advancing human opportunity and reversing the climate crisis by transforming systems in food, health, energy, and finance.
The Rockefeller Foundation’s climate-health initiative supports efforts to advance climate-health solutions that increase country ownership, accessibility, and long-term impact aligned to the COP28 Guiding Principles for Financing Climate and Health. Our work seeks to test and scale promising solutions through innovation, equitable financing, policy, and partnerships.
Supporting the following commitments:
- Conduct climate change and health vulnerability and adaptation assessments (V&As) at population level and/or health care facility level.
- Develop a health national adaptation plan (HNAP) informed by the health V&A, which forms part of the National Adaptation Plan.
- Use the V&A and HNAP to facilitate access to climate change funding for health.
Country experience:
The Rockefeller Foundation’s work supports global, regional, national, and sub-national initiatives. Current funding supports efforts in Asia, the Americans, and Africa. We reserve the right to expand or reduce funding as appropriate in these or other geographies.
