What we do
KR Foundation’s purpose is to address the climate crisis by pushing for a rapid phase-out of fossil fuels at a global level. In line with the Paris climate agreement, as signed by governments, and backed by industry and society.
We do this by:
- Challenging the ongoing financing of fossil fuels. Every dollar invested delays the crucial phase-out.
- Challenging the social and political influence of the fossil fuel industry. There are no legitimate arguments for continuing this threat to humanity and our planet. This must be made clear to everyone.
- Supporting the transition to a sustainable economic paradigm. Our current economic paradigm has breached 6 out of 9 planetary boundaries, including climate change. We need to usher in a new paradigm that works for the living planet and all people.
