The climate crisis needs urgent, innovative and collaborative action more than ever before. Over the last three years, Rainmatter Foundation’s work has been around supporting positive climate action, a healthier environment, and the livelihoods associated with them. Our approach at the foundation has evolved to build deeper, collaborative, intersectional, immediate and landscape-rooted solutions to the climate problem. 🌿 We work on building lasting, meaningful partnerships in the climate ecosystem and supporting and collaborating with organisations, individuals and causes working in different areas of an entire spectrum through grants, fellowships and investments. If you are an individual or organisation who is working towards solving for the climate crisis, write to us at info@rainmatter.org.

Non-profit Organizations
Supporting individuals/organizations working on climate change, with a focus on afforestation, ecology, and livelihoods.
About us
Rainmatter Climate Foundation is a Zerodha-sponsored initiative focused on fostering and assisting ideas that help preserve and regenerate ecosystems. We believe that this needs both direct interventions as well as the enablement of larger platforms that involve a mainstream understanding of the need and benefits of these efforts while also scaling participation in them beyond the philanthropic efforts of a few. Indeed we do not see this as charity; it is an investment into our own future and wellbeing. Amongst our core beliefs is that moving to a green economy and creating green jobs is an essential part of the changes needed for a better ecology. We also think that this needs to happen in a distributed fashion across geographies, with value and job creation everywhere and not being limited to a few urban centres. Reversing both migration and concentration of value, wealth and resources are a major need towards this and will also need a strengthening of public goods and services across India. Rainmatter Climate Foundation is uniquely positioned to influence these efforts in terms of the market and technology skills and partnerships we bring to the table. Additionally, we are committing a $100mn fund towards this over the coming few years. This will be disbursed as grants and funding for projects in the above directions that become replicable models. It will also be used for the creation of open, collaborative platforms that cross-pollinate and scale many good ideas and successful experiments and help create a green economy everywhere. This includes our commitments to funding open-source efforts that help create projects and platforms for climate change and related efforts. Rainmatter Foundation is also incubating and investing in entrepreneurship that helps with these directions and helps move towards a greener, more equitable, and lower footprint economy.

How did you score? We are rooting for a 4/4. 💯 A big part of the energy that we consume today is derived from burning coal in thermal power plants, and thermal power accounts for close to 75% of total power generation. This contributes to environmental pollution and needless to say, mining coal indiscriminately contributes to more ecological damage. While the entire society is looking forward to transitioning to renewable sources of energy, it is equally important for us to make conscious choices to ensure that the demand side is informed by better consumption habits. ⚡ These are just a few of the things that we can practise at home. Let us know in the comments what you do in your daily life to use energy mindfully. 💬 #rainmatterfoundation #energysavingathome #energysaving #renewable

Imagine a world where children grow up knowing they have the power to protect the planet! Educating young readers about climate change not only builds awareness but also nurtures future leaders who can advocate for sustainable solutions. Stories can break down complex topics, helping children connect extreme weather events and environmental shifts to the broader issue of climate change. Neha Lal reviews seven books that make climate change accessible to young readers, helping them better understand its impact across rural India as well as the country cities and city regions. 📖 Explore her booklist here - https://lnkd.in/gG_we2fK Authors: Bijal Vachharajani, Arati Kumar-Rao, Yuvan, Rohan Chakravarty, Canato Jimo #EcoCityRegions #ClimateEducation #ClimateAction #SustainableFuture #ClimateResilience
