Tara Climate Foundation is a philanthropic organization based in Asia that collaborates with a broad spectrum of stakeholders—including donors, corporations, and governments—to accelerate progress on the region’s most pressing climate challenges.

Through grant-making, convening regional actors, and sharing localized, on-the-ground insights, the foundation focuses its efforts on advancing a just energy transition—one that enables people, communities, and economies to thrive collectively.

Tara Climate Foundation envisions a more prosperous, thriving, and sustainable future for Asia. Its mission is to work in partnership with a diverse range of stakeholders to help realize this vision—one that is deeply connected to ambitious and inclusive climate action.

Asia stands at a pivotal crossroads. Home to some of the world’s most vulnerable ecosystems and populations, the region is already grappling with the escalating impacts of climate change, including extreme weather events and rising sea levels. At the same time, Asia is a significant contributor to global carbon emissions, responsible for nearly half of the world’s total output.

Given its rapid economic growth and expanding population, Asia holds a crucial role in shaping a sustainable global future. For Tara Climate Foundation, reducing emissions, building resilience, and accelerating the transition to low-carbon economies are not just about mitigating environmental risks—they are also key to unlocking widespread opportunity.

A just energy transition, if done right, can catalyze a wave of positive change: generating new jobs, industries, and skills, while fostering inclusive economic growth. It is a pathway to a future where people, communities, and the planet thrive together in balance.
