UBS Climate Collective

Picture
​The UBS Climate Collective is a philanthropy strategy and leadership programme to drive collective impact in climate mitigation and resilience in Southeast Asia. It aims to achieve direct and systemic change through a three-pronged approach:
  1. Impact Program: A partnership with exceptional organizations around a common agenda of identifying, developing, and advancing models of best practice in climate mitigation and nature-based solutions in the region.
  2. Innovation Program: Knowledge management, awareness raising, and advocacy to share and codify innovative solutions, approaches, and tools to advance climate mitigation.
  3. Learning Program: A unique learning journey aimed at enhancing the skills and expertise needed for strategic, high-impact climate philanthropy.

Collectively, members of the Climate Collective will fund a portfolio of partner organisations to run innovative and impactful climate action programmes starting in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam. Focused on coastal ecosystems and blue carbon, the programmes will involve engaging with communities in the conservation of mangrove ecosystems, advocacy for the importance of integrated land use planning and nature-based solutions, and the development of sustainable practices in aquaculture and alternative livelihoods for local communities.
 
As a member of the collective, Quantedge Advancement Initiative is actively involved in discussions with experts and peer funders on programme implementation as well as impact monitoring and evaluation, and seeks to learn from best practices in strategic climate philanthropy. Through our participation in the Climate Collective, we hope to deepen our experience on developing impactful climate solutions for the region through collective philanthropy.

Update:
As of 2023, the UBS Climate Collective has brought together nine high-impact organisations to deliver innovative projects across Southeast Asia:
  • Blue Forests
  • Blue Ventures
  • Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR)
  • Climateworks Centre
  • Earth Security
  • Forest Carbon
  • Global Mangrove Trust (GMT)
  • International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)
  • World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)

By end of 2023, the projects have collectively:
  • Conserved, restored or protected 6,228 ha of mangroves through sustainable land management and monitoring.
  • Developed 19 applications/approaches/models for the monitoring, accreditation and financing of blue carbon projects for scale.
  • Integrated nature-based solutions into development plans of targeted local, provincial and national institutions.

Furthermore, 69 key partnerships were established by the UBS Climate Collective’s partner organisations with blue carbon stakeholders including local and national government, private sector, local and international non-governmental organisations and funding partners. By collaborating with a network of stakeholders, the UBS Climate Collective projects can achieve stronger coordination, maximise long-term impact and seed future collaborations.

To advocate for the blue carbon ecosystem, the Collective released the Big Blue Report, which documented key learnings and insights gleaned from the Collective’s experiences and showcased the impactful, groundbreaking work undertaken by some of the grantee organisations.
