Rather, businesses need to really care about issues such as transitioning the economy to clean energy to make a difference -- something the Chouinard family has exemplified, Cleetus said, adding that there are many businesses that claim publicly they are for climate solutions but are actually lobbying for policies that undermine climate progress.
"The scale of the immensity and the urgency of the climate crisis is such that it won't be enough to have a few very rich people donate money," Cleetus said. In addition, those in charge of the funds will need to ensure they are allocated to the most appropriate sectors, the experts said. Public policy from governments around the world to assertively address the challenge will be necessary, and philanthropy can help move the needle in that regard by providing assistance to governments when conceptualizing those policies, Jennifer Kitt, president of the Climate Leader Initiative, told ABC News.
