Arab Philanthropy Commitment on Climate Change

The Arab Philanthropy Commitment on Climate Change is a regional initiative that urges philanthropic organizations across the 22 Arab countries to unite in addressing climate injustice. Building on global efforts, it highlights the Arab region’s disproportionate vulnerability to climate change—such as rising temperatures, water scarcity, and socio-economic instability—and calls for urgent, inclusive action. The initiative emphasizes the role of philanthropy in mobilizing resources, supporting adaptation and mitigation, addressing data gaps, and promoting a just transition to a sustainable, low-carbon future aligned with the region’s unique challenges and global frameworks like the Paris Agreement and the SDGs.
