Our work
Quadrature Climate Foundation takes a science-led approach to identifying and supporting solutions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, remove greenhouse gases, and respond effectively to climate impacts.
Our vision
A climate-resilient future for the world’s most vulnerable people.
Our mission
We take a science-led approach to unlocking solutions that reduce climate impacts and lift people out of vulnerability.
Our theory of change
Our theory of change illustrates how our interventions contribute to our vision by stabilising the climate and supporting those most affected by climate impacts. It guides our strategy, shapes our grantmaking, and provides a framework for assessing our impact.
Our approach
We support a wide array of climate solutions, focusing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, scaling methods to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, and responding effectively to climate impacts. We focus on pragmatism without losing sight of ambition. Achieving a just climate transition demands a ‘big tent’ approach that identifies and champions leaders and brings others along.
1. Targeting bottlenecks
Many solutions to combat climate change already exist. We aim to unlock their deployment at the speed and scale required by overcoming barriers to their implementation.
2. Supporting innovation
Innovation is part of the solution. Philanthropic capital can play a unique role in catalysing and scaling new solutions.
3. Deploying diverse tactics
We support research and initiatives, build coalitions, cultivate alliances, and foster environments that challenge conventional thinking and inspire new ideas.
