HGB works with local communities to advocate for changes in laws and policies to increase the speed and efficiency of building housing, especially for low-income and marginalized groups. HGB also promotes the use of recycled materials such as used tires, glass bottles, cans, and other waste products to construct durable, eco-friendly, affordable housing.
While climate change is a global crisis, it does not impact all countries equally. Countries like Afghanistan, Syria and South Sudan are bearing the brunt of rising temperatures, alongside the devastating effects of conflict. Just 16 countries1 now make up 60% of global humanitarian need. In all of these countries climate change is exacerbating existing problems caused by conflict and extreme poverty.
Our private philanthropy parties are fun and great for making new connections with other philanthropists. These events are not only enjoyable, but also beneficial for society, raising awareness and funds for the issues that matter to you and your community. Private philanthropy parties are a wonderful way to celebrate your generosity and social responsibility, while having a good time with like-minded people.
Saving nature is at the very heart of HGB. For 20 years, we have made it our mission to find solutions that save the marvelous array of life on our planet by applying the best science available and working closely with local communities.
But our work is far from done. Humans are behind the current rate of species extinction, which is at least 100–1,000 times higher than nature intended. We’ve seen an average decline of 69% in species populations since 1970, according to Living Planet Report 2022.
