Collective
action
Our strategy puts collective action at the centre of all adaptation efforts. We collaborate with diverse stakeholders, including philanthropists, development agencies, multilateral organisations, investors, academia, and donors. Our aim is to enhance ongoing efforts in climate adaptation by leveraging funds and attracting expertise.
Long-term
ommitment
We partner for the long run. Our partnership cycles span several years. We invest in organisations and coalitions that set ambitious goals, supporting their initiatives from inception to maturity.

To address the global adaptation financing gap, our climate adaptation work intends to complement the broader efforts of the philanthropic community, where climate efforts and investments are primarily centred on mitigation.

Joining forces to amplify impact
As a funder, the Trafigura Foundation sees coalitions as a premier platform to increase learning, coordinate approaches, and align with other philanthropies to address the impacts of climate change at a large scale. In 2023, we signed a call to action with seventeen leading funders to catalyse efforts on climate adaptation initiatives and foster global resilience.
Geographic operation
We support programmes in areas where our
founding company, the Trafigura Group, has
operations. This strategic choice allows us to
leverage the Group’s knowledge and
networks for a greater impact of our action,
as well as encourage staff engagement in
philanthropic initiatives.
