The Rockefeller Foundation envisions a world with Smart Globalization – a world in which globalization’s benefits are more widely shared and social, economic, health, and environmental challenges are more easily weathered. We support work that enables individuals, communities, and institutions to access new tools, practices, resources, services, and products. And we support work that enhances their resilience in the face of acute crises and chronic stresses, whether manmade, ecological, or both. This is our 21st century interpretation of the Foundation’s pioneering and enduring philanthropic mission to “promote the well-being” of humanity.
Decarbonization is a multi-decade secular trend, akin to the digitization of our economy. It involves globally scaling electrification, incorporating technological advances, rethinking buildings, leveraging industrial efficiency and increasing supply chain transparency. It has massive implications on how we view and experience the world and will be long lasting.
To put it into perspective, there are over 70 countries and 4000 companies that have committed to net zero. To achieve that, it will require wholesale systemic and infrastructure change. We are already spending $5.7T per year but to meet targets, an additional $3.5T or almost 3% in Global GDP needs to be committed annually, through 2050.

Our capital creates employment and valuable goods and services in economically impoverished communities. We seek to fuel projects that are leading-edge, replicable, and green.
