The Rockefeller Foundation and Temasek Trust announce the launch of the Global Coalition for Nuclear Philanthropy (GCNP), a coalition intended to coordinate and expand philanthropic support for nuclear energy deployment worldwide. The coalition’s stated focus is accelerating nuclear energy roll-out in ways that are efficient, safe, secure, and equitable. The announcement frames the effort as addressing a gap in climate-related giving, noting that only about 0.1% to 0.2% of climate philanthropy currently goes toward nuclear energy. GCNP aims to mobilise philanthropic capital and align funding to help support nuclear’s safe expansion, though specific program funding amounts and timelines are not detailed in the available summaries.
In a related development, The Hindu reports that the Philanthropy Asia Alliance has mobilised $615 million to support more than 300 projects across climate action, healthcare, and inclusive growth. This is presented separately from the nuclear coalition but provides additional context on broader philanthropic activity in Asia.
