\"\"<\/a>Given the unrelenting twists and turns of 2020, many people are reflecting on what the future may hold in a post-pandemic world. Similarly, many institutions have created scenario-based assessments of what could be on the horizon. While new developments unfold, such as deployment of Covid-19 vaccines and a transition to a new U.S. administration, these studies offer valuable insights about addressing the climate crisis under a wide range of uncertainties.<\/p>\n

In this brief, we present an overview based on the most useful scenarios for developing effective climate philanthropy strategies amid high levels of uncertainty. Based on our conclusion that we are likely to experience a bifurcated, uneven recovery \u2014 meaning that certain advantaged groups will experience a strong economic recovery, while more vulnerable groups are likely to face an extended economic downturn \u2014 we urge donors, when possible, to step up their giving for people and the planet. We also offer five takeaways to inform strategic planning and decision-making in the next year.<\/p>\n
