Climate Emergency Fund (CEF) is a US-based nonprofit organization that supports climate change activist groups involved in non-violent direct action. It was founded in 2019 by filmmaker Rory Kennedy, a member of the prominent Kennedy family, and Getty family heiress Aileen Getty. [1] [2]
Climate Emergency Fund often supports groups that use non-violent direct action tactics, [3] including Just Stop Oil, [3] Last Generation and Climate Defiance. [4]
Since supporting actions targeting Inflation Reduction Act [5] hold-outs during the Biden administration, Climate Emergency Fund has since been a strong supporter of the nationwide AI data center resistance movement. [6]
As of August 2022 [update] , Getty has donated $1 million to the fund. [2] When he joined the board of directors in September 2022, film director Adam McKay pledged $4 million to the fund. [7] [8]
In 2019, the Nonprofit Quarterly described Climate Emergency Fund's mission as dedicated to "a more aggressive strategy to address the climate crisis" [9]
Philip Eubanks is the current executive director.
