Global Greengrants Fund

Description

• Global Greengrants Fund believes solutions to environmental harm and social injustice come from people whose lives are most impacted. Every day, our global network of people on the frontlines and donors comes together to support communities to protect their ways of life and our planet. Because when local people have a say in the health of their food, water, and resources, they are forces for change. For example, Global Greengrants grantees have protected the environment by creating new marine conservation areas (Chile), halting construction of megadams (Peru), passing new forest protection laws (Mongolia), winning bans on plastic bags (Uganda), and banning deadly herbicides (China). Grantees have restored coral reefs, mangroves, forests and sustainable farms. And grantees have transformed systems, such as the indigenous Sarayaku people of Ecuador, who won a precedent-setting case in which the Inter-American Court of Human Rights ruled that governments must obtain free, prior and informed consent from indigenous peoples before corporations can extract resources from their lands. GLOBAL GREENGRANTS IMPACT FACTS Because Global Greengrants supports grassroots action in the Global South, small amounts of money create disproportionate impact: $100 can plant 250 trees in rural Tanzania. $500 can re-seed 4,500 mangroves, virtual carbon sequestration machines, to protect communities in Honduras from rising sea levels and slow climate change. $1,000 could provide native seeds to 20 sustainable farming co-ops in Ecuador. Industrial agriculture is one of the biggest engines of climate change. $2,500 can provide three villages in central China with new, efficient stoves, significantly decreasing deforestation. $5,000 can protect 50,000 acres of forest and grasslands in India from being destroyed by mining.
