The Huaraz case


The Andean town of Huaraz (Peru) is facing the threat of a flood disaster. The cause is glacier melt driven by climate change. We have supported Saúl Luciano Lliuya in demanding his right to protection from those responsible. The verdict was handed down by OLG Hamm on 28 May 2025 – a milestone on the path to climate justice!

Foundations platform F20

In July 2017, the summit of the most important industrial and emerging countries (G20) took place in Hamburg. This provided the impetus for establishing the G20 foundations platform “Foundations 20” by our foundation and the environmental foundation Michael Otto. Today, F20 consists of over 65 foundations, primarily from the G20 countries. They seek to be part of the solution for implementing the 2030 Agenda with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Climate Agreement and positively influence the political discourse.
