The Rockefeller Foundation, created with wealth generated from the oil industry more than a century ago, plans to make the fight against climate change central to all of its work, including its operations and investments.
100 Resilient Cities–which funded an office of resiliency in city governments around the world–is set to be terminated this summer. The reasons are unclear.
The Rockefeller Foundation is ending a localized climate change initiative focused on building resiliency across 100 U.S. cities, a move that will see staff layoffs.
The challenge, which is being funded by local governments and the Rockefeller Foundation, is modeled on New York and New Jersey's rebuilding effort after Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
