The abject failure of liberal philanthropy to address climate change points to the urgency of a broad-based people’s strategy for climate education and action.
We need a people’s movement to mobilise for ecological regeneration and systemic transformation.
One of the world’s biggest philanthropic initiatives to address climate change is set-up to fail catastrophically, according to a strategy document setting out the initiative’s five-year plan.
