Environmental destruction causes pandemics, makes people sick, and exacerbates inequalities. Air pollution, toxic soils and contaminated water have resulted in millions of premature deaths and greater poverty. Destructive farming and unsustainable diets are impacting peoples’ health and contributing to worsening the climate crisis. A sick planet means sick people.

Global Greengrants is the only organisation in the world that places decision-making power and much needed funds directly in the hands of communities to protect and restore their land, biodiversity, water, and consequently their health. We invest in local action to monitor polluters, demand toxic and waste clean-up, revive critical habitats, and protect air and watersheds. We help communities rebuild local and green economies after the COVID pandemic to ensure the health of future generations.
