Normalising Climate Conversations
In early 2024 the Multicultural Leadership Initiative launched an ambitious partnership with Cricket for Climate and the Macdoch Foundation to make the climate conversation accessible to everyday Australians. With 1 in 3 Australians being from racially, culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and with Australia's national sport, cricket, having over 8 million fans; the partnership will the expand the reach of the climate conversation to build a broad based social mandate for a climate safe future. This ambitious project is made possible with the support and partnership of the Macdoch Foundation.
HeatWise Communities
As our planet continues to experience rising temperatures triggered by human caused carbon emissions, so too does the suffering take its toll on communities. Whether its those who experience the urban heat island effect or rural and regional areas who wrestle with draught. The Multicultural Leadership Initiative co-founded this growing alliance of organisations to tackle the mitigating adaption work necessary to combat this edge of climate change. The co-founding organisations are:
Expanding and Diversifying Climate Philanthropy
Less than 7% of overall charitable giving goes to environmental protection. Yet climate change is the single biggest existential threat to humanity. To accelerate the overall pathway towards a climate safe future, there needs to be greater targeted investment in underrepresented voices, without which a broad social mandate for climate solutions cannot be achieved thus casting climate policy debates into the realm of endless political football. The Multicultural Leadership Initiative is proud to work alongside our philanthropic partners to build this bridge -- for all our sake.
