The Climate Emergency Fund (CEF) is a US-based nonprofit organization that supports climate change activist groups involved in civil disobedience. It was founded in 2019 by filmmaker Rory Kennedy, a member of the prominent Kennedy family, and Getty family heiress Aileen Getty.[1][2]
Activities
[edit | edit source]The CEF often supports groups that use civil disobedience tactics,[3] including Just Stop Oil,[3] Last Generation and Climate Defiance.[4]
The CEF funded actions supporting the Inflation Reduction Act.[5]
