G20 countries are responsible for more than 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions and must show leadership in combating climate change. But with war in Ukraine and other geopolitical tensions, will this year’s G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, deliver the action we need on the climate, biodiversity, and energy crises? We dive into what tangible steps global leaders could take, at the G20 Bali summit and beyond.

The way we produce, process, eat, and waste food has devastating environmental, social, and health impacts. These costs generally go unaccounted for in the final price of food, in policies, and on budget sheets.
With the industrial food system accounting for a third of all global greenhouse gas emissions, the food systems transformation aagenda is the climate agenda. In this episode, we focus on connecting the two.

Immediate and deep emission reductions are needed to secure a climate-safe future for us all. Philanthropic foundations are well placed to take the lead. But the sector is lagging behind when it comes to climate action. Funding for climate change mitigation is growing, yet still accounts for less than 2% of total philanthropic giving worldwide. We explore how the philanthropic sector can loosen the purse strings and unleash the power of political persuasion.

Phrases like “Just Transition” and “Race to Zero” shape the political debate as well as policy and practice — in ways good and bad.
Just as negative news stories can leave us deflated, there’s a role for positive narratives in reimagining a better, healthier planet. We dive into the language that’s holding back change and what should be used instead.

Justice for the countries that are most vulnerable; justice for young people who will have to live with the implications of climate change in the future. This episode looks at how finance can be used as a lever of change to seek justice for both groups.
We learn how public, private, and philanthropic financial streams can be better aligned for more effective and equitable climate action. And we hear where priority should be placed in terms of delivering those resources.

Renewables currently account for about one-third of the world’s electricity. But experts say we could easily generate enough renewable energy to meet global demand.
World leaders and industry players are on board with the transition to renewables…or at least they say so. Energy is a huge piece in the puzzle when it comes to climate action, food justice, and protecting biodiversity. So what’s the hold-up? We find out.

In the first episode of our Accelerating Climate Solutions Podcast, we explore both the climate legacy and the future role of the G7 in times of interconnected global crises. As energy security and war are set to dominate the G7 agenda next week in Elmau, Germany, we consider how G7 leaders can influence and shape meaningful global climate action in today's complex geopolitical context.
Together with Dr. Martin Frick, Director at the Global Office Berlin of the World Food Programme, we explore how the ongoing war in Ukraine is compounding the world's food-energy security crises, ask what are the opportunities for action, and how can intersectional partnerships between foundations, businesses and politics deliver much-needed and systemic change.
Listen to this first episode on why the G7 is at a crossroads and what to expect from next week's gathering. For feedback, critic and speaker suggestions etc. please write us at [email protected]

Where are the opportunities for climate action? What are the issues that are shaping and holding back decision-making? From hunger to biodiversity loss, how do global challenges impact one another? With guest speakers from across international politics, science, climate, philanthropy, and civil society, tune into this new podcast to explore these questions in more detail and discover how systems-thinking can help deliver the solutions we so urgently need.
Stefan Schurig from the Foundations Platform F20 and Ruth Richardson from the Global Alliance for the Future of Food are keen to unpack major conflicts in the climate discourse, foster cross-sectoral dialogue and ultimately accelerate the implementation of solutions!
Global crises must be solved by global solutions. Philanthropic organisations play an important role in forwarding these solutions. We believe that we can have a greater impact together than individual organizations alone. The Foundations Platform F20 (F20) is an international network of more than 75 foundations and philanthropic organisations calling the G20 to act on climate in line with the Paris Climate Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The Global Alliance for the Future of Food is an strategic alliance of philanthropic organizations collaborating on bold action across the planet to transform food systems and their impacts on climate change and food security
Being part of the solution and calling for joint, transnational action towards sustainable development is core of both F20’s and the Global Alliance’s mission and identity. The time is now to accelerate the shift towards a sustainable future for everyone!
