About the Collaboration
The Climate Change Collaboration is a partnership between the Aurora Trust, the JJ Charitable Trust, and the Mark Leonard Trust. The three Trusts formed the Collaboration in 2011 in response to the growing urgency of climate change.
The Climate Change Collaboration’s mission is to support efforts which help stabilise global temperatures to 1.5 degrees, restore our natural world, and support a regenerative economy. We aim to help reshape market norms, incentives and structures and create a political mandate to keep fossil fuels in the ground and accelerate finance into climate and nature solutions. We aim to support organisations that enable widescale change in the following areas of focus:
- Aligning Finance to the Paris Agreement
- Law and Regulation
- Strategic Communications
- Divest 4 Nature
- Energy Resilience and Security.

What we fund
The Aurora Trust, the Mark Leonard Trust and the JJ Charitable Trust all publish their grants on 360Giving.
Grantmaking process
For each of our programme areas we undertake research and work with a range of organisations and experts in the field to give us a greater understanding of the issue, and how we can best use all our available resources to address it.
We do not accept unsolicited applications.
