Under Ellen Dorsey’s leadership, the Wallace Global Fund has taken a bold step towards addressing climate change. In 2018, the fund announced it would be spending down its entire endowment fund by the end of the year, with a focus on tackling climate change and supporting human rights and justice. This year, they accelerated their timeline, committing to disburse all their funds by the end of 2023. In the past year alone, they have disbursed $50 million, with $24 million going to U.S.-based organizations. Dorsey highlights the importance of stopping government subsidies for the fossil fuel industry and supporting community-driven projects for renewable energy, sustainability, and agro-ecology. She believes that youth-led climate movements are crucial for driving meaningful social change and that AI, while helpful in monitoring emissions, could also increase emissions if not regulated properly. Dorsey remains hopeful about the future, inspired by the ambition and demands of youth activists worldwide. #ClimateAction #YouthActivism #RenewableEnergy
