Blue Orchard, which is majority-owned by Schroeders plc, manages over approximately $3.5 billion in assets, and operates in emerging and frontier markets worldwide.This transaction is one of a batch of social impact investments, totaling $38 million, that SEDF has made since March across a range of sectors, including gender, climate adaptation insurance, economic development, human rights and security technology, and health care.SEDF, and the Open Society Economic Justice Program of which it is a part, work globally to promote economic systems and practices that build more equitable, sustainable, and democratic societies. The Open Society Foundations announced a $500,000 investment in Puerto Rico to respond to short-term humanitarian needs on the island driven by the coronavirus. “The COVID-19 pandemic has made all too real the dangers of ignoring science. While initiated before COVID-19, this investment speaks to the moment by supporting vulnerable communities that are already disproportionally at risk.”SEDF also hopes that innovative insurance products tailored for self-employed smallholder farmers will inspire new ideas for suitable insurance products, targeting informal workers living in urban and rural settings who are also impacted by climate change or natural catastrophes, and broadening the reach of insurance to vulnerable populations.The InsuResilience fund is managed by Blue Orchard, which was set up in 2001 as the world’s first commercial manager of microfinance debt investments. This funding is part of our ongoing commitment of standing up for human rights, social justice, and equality.” The funding recognizes that in this moment of emerging COVID-19 stimulus packages, bailout plans, and worker programs, fundamental decisions are at stake that will either drive progress towards an inclusive, green, and just future—or support the destructive, business-as-usual practices that threaten us all.
Climate justice is a new dimension of the Open Society Foundations’ work in Brussels and will involve developing advocacy to promote an effective, just and inclusive transition to a zero-carbon economy. The Partnership’s central objective is to increase resilience amongst the most poor and vulnerable people with a particular focus on climate change risk.“The InsuResilience Investment Fund is the only entirely private sector initiative within this broader effort to expand affordable insurance to those who are most at risk from the threat of climate change,” said Catherine Cax, SEDF’s director of investments. The COVID-19 pandemic has made the climate threat even worse, and revealed that urgent, science-based action on both issues is necessary to prevent catastrophic impacts on human health, the environment, and the global economy.
NEW YORK—The Open Society Foundations announced today they will provide more than $16 million in support of urgent climate crisis priorities related to the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on advancing green economic stimulus plans and stopping authoritarian efforts to roll back environmental progress. We’re seeking a Program Officer, Supporting a Just Climate Transition and Climate Justice in Europe based in Berlin to manage our growing grant-making program on this issue across the continent.
