APCCC Implementation Guide Launch

The Arab Philanthropy Commitment on Climate Change (APCCC) is a regional call to action for philanthropic organizations across the Arab world to address the interconnected challenges of climate change, inequality, and development. Launched in 2024, the APCCC reflects a shared recognition that Arab philanthropy has a critical role to play in advancing climate action grounded in regional priorities and realities. Building on this momentum, a dedicated working group of signatory organizations convened in 2025 to develop the APCCC Implementation Guide. This online session marks the official launch of the Implementation Guide, developed by the Arab Foundations Forum and its working group members to support organizations across the Arab world in translating commitment into practice. The Guide offers a practical, non-prescriptive roadmap organized around seven pillars and structured across three levels of progress—Getting Started, Building Momentum, and Showing Leadership—enabling organizations to engage at their own pace and in line with their capacities.
