Asian philanthropists increase climate aid as Western funding wanes

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

    As the U.S. and Europe pull back from global climate aid, can Asian funders fill the gap?

    Globally, less than 2% of philanthropic giving goes to mitigating climate change. Of that small amount, an even smaller sliver—just 12%—goes to Asia.
