About this grant
The Global Climate Initiatives Programme at Oak Foundation was established in 2025 to support practical, affordable, people-first solutions that help communities thrive while reducing harm from pollution and overuse of natural resources. The programme focuses on three areas: energy, plastics and petrochemicals, and food. Under energy, it supports efforts to make clean energy more accessible, affordable and fair, including improving power, transport and buildings in ways that protect health, lower bills and create jobs, especially where need is greatest. Under plastics and petrochemicals, it supports reducing plastic waste and pollution by promoting safer, cleaner and healthier alternatives and reducing unnecessary single-use items. Under food, it supports practices that encourage nutritious diets, fair livelihoods, and farming that cares for nature and reduces waste. The programme states it works across sectors, communities and cultures to build a future that is cleaner, fairer and healthier. The page showcases partner stories such as the Clean Cooling Collaborative, reuse systems supported by the Plastic Solutions Fund, air quality advocacy by the Clean Air Fund, and rooftop solar in Pakistan, as examples of its areas of interest. A people-centred approach document is referenced for further detail.
