Financial expert explains: Donate sensibly for climate protection - which projects are worthwhile?

According to a report by www.morgenpost.de, the majority of donations in Germany are used for humanitarian projects. However, the NRW consumer advice center points out that donations for climate protection projects can also be useful, as they help prevent humanitarian emergencies caused by extreme weather.

Supporting climate protection projects can have various effects. By storing, avoiding or reducing greenhouse gases, projects to preserve peatlands or reforestation measures can, for example, help counteract the effects of climate change. In the long term, this can mitigate the consequences of extreme weather events such as droughts or floods and protect the livelihoods of many people.

The North Rhine-Westphalia Consumer Center recommends specific climate protection projects that can be supported, including moor sponsorships, reforestation projects and local environmental protection projects. In addition, political organizations that advocate for more climate protection can also be supported through donations, such as German Environmental Aid, the Federation for the Environment and Nature Conservation Germany (BUND) or the Germanwatch organization.

By specifically supporting climate protection projects and political organizations, donations can help combat the global climate crisis and protect the livelihoods of future generations. This shows that donations for climate protection represent a sustainable and effective form of support.
