Giving Green is a US-based non-profit charity assessment organization that recommends organizations that are demonstrably reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.[1][2][3][4] It uses principles from effective altruism to determine where a marginal dollar can do the most good.[1] It has made recommendations for US[5][6] and Australian[7] policy organizations as well as carbon offsets and removals.[8][9] It is also working on developing recommendations for investment opportunities, such as those related to impact investments and Environmental, social and corporate governance.[10] Giving Green is an initiative of IDInsight, an international development nonprofit.[11][12][4]
History[edit]
Giving Green was launched in 2019 by co-founders Daniel Stein and Nicholas Parker.[13] Stein developed the idea behind Giving Green after struggling to find evidence-based climate change charities to donate to.[14]
Giving Green initially focused on US policy organizations and carbon offsets.[14] Giving Green added investments[10] and Australian policy[15][7] to its workstream in 2021. Its work on Australian policy was funded by the Australian Ethical Foundation and supported by Peter Singer's foundation, The Life You Can Save.[16][12]
In 2021, The Life You Can Save used Giving Green and Founders Pledge's US-based research to curate its climate change recommendations for US donors, and adopted Giving Green's Australia-based recommendations.[12][17]
Giving Green's approach[edit]
Giving Green evaluates policy organizations on the basis of their importance, tractability, and neglectedness.[2] This includes investigating the organizations' history and accomplishments to date, organizational strength, activities and evidence, theory of change and evidence, risks, room for additional funding, and cost-effectiveness.[18] Giving Green also provides recommendations for businesses, such as carbon offsets and removals, and for investors. For its carbon offsets and removal, Giving Green uses a set of criteria that includes causality, additionality, permanence, and co-benefits.[14]
Recommended charities[edit]
Giving Green makes annual recommendations for the organizations that it thinks are the “best bets” for donors. In 2021, Giving Green recommended the following US policy organizations: Evergreen Collaborative, Carbon180, and the Clean Air Task Force.[1][9][5] Its recommendations for Australian policy organizations included Beyond Zero Emissions, Farmers for Climate Action, and Original Power.[7] It also recommended several organizations that either offset carbon pollution or remove it entirely. For example, Tradewater finds and destroys industrial refrigerant gases; Climeworks and Charm Industrial are both start-ups that remove carbon from the atmosphere directly.[1][8] For individual donors, Giving Green recommends donating to political causes over giving to offsetting or removal groups.[1]
