Welcome to the “Brains in Gear” series, or as we like to call it, the BIG series, brought to you by the International Education Funders Group (IEFG).

This podcast is a space for dynamic, timely conversations on varied themes most relevant to the current global landscape in education. This year, we're focusing on a theme that should demand the attention of every education funder: Education Philanthropy and the Climate Crisis.

We will tackle the often unspoken questions that education funders are facing. Can education funders reach their goals without addressing climate? Why has it been so difficult for education philanthropy to step into climate education? How can education funders start integrating a climate lens into their existing portfolios without derailing core priorities? What are the most promising entry points for action?

Throughout the series, you’ll hear from funders, practitioners, and thought leaders who are grappling with these questions in real time. They’ll share what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next.

So whether you're an education funder looking to understand where climate fits into your mission, a climate funder curious about how education can support your goals, or simply someone eager to better understand how philanthropy is evolving in the face of the climate crisis, this podcast is for you.

Get your Brains in Gear, and join us as we navigate one of the most important conversations in global education today.
