Rockefeller Brothers Fund - Sustainable Development Program
Human activity is causing the depletion of essential resources, global warming, rapid loss of biodiversity, and accelerating
degradation of Earth’s life support systems. The RBF’s sustainable development grant making endeavors to address
these challenges by supporting environmental stewardship that is ecologically based, economically sound, socially just,
culturally appropriate, and consistent with intergenerational equity. The Fund encourages government, business, and
civil society to work collaboratively on environmental conservation to make it an integral part of all development planning
and activity. Recognizing the global nature of many environmental problems, the Fund also promotes international
cooperation in addressing these challenges. |
