To meet the challenge of the intensifying climate crisis, we wanted to better focus our resources and strengthen our contribution to tackling global warming, with and for the many people. We saw this process as an opportunity to grow and mature as an organisation. By reflecting on our years of experience and listening closely to our partners, our aim is to become more effective, collaborative, and responsive in how we work.

The world needs strong and trusted partnerships to create wellbeing for the many people and sustain planetary health, both for today and for generations to come. We are deeply grateful to our partners for their continued commitment and collaboration.
