Who We Are
Founded in 2024, Oneworld Colab is an advisory and consulting organisation accelerating inclusive climate action, Just Transition and emissions reduction across South and South-East Asia, with a strong focus on India.
The Challenge:
- Asia is warming nearly twice as fast as the global average.
- Over 600 million people face growing risks from heat, floods, and energy insecurity.
- Less than 0.2% of global climate finance reaches women-led or community-based initiatives
How we bridge the gap:
- Embed gender and climate equity into policy, strategy, and delivery.
- Mobilise capital and strengthen local capacity to scale lasting, inclusive impact.
- Connect communities, institutions, and finance to turn local knowledge into measurable climate solutions.
We turn climate ambition into inclusive, tangible progress — creating transitions that benefit people, planet, and shared prosperity.

Our Focus Areas
We work at the intersection of people, power, and possibility — advancing climate solutions that are community-led, driven by women, built through collaboration, and enabled by inclusive capital. Together, these pillars create a holistic approach that amplifies local voices, strengthens resilience, and delivers lasting impact for both people and the planet.
Driving Community-Led Climate Action
We power climate action from the ground up—amplifying community voices and supporting clean energy, nature-positive solutions, and local resilience. By listening to those closest to the challenges, we accelerate transitions that deliver real climate gains and stronger livelihoods.
Advancing Women’s Climate Leadership
We elevate women as leaders and catalysts of climate action—fuelling Just Transitions, digital inclusion, and a thriving green economy. When women lead, climate solutions are more inclusive, equitable, and enduring.
Strengthening Grassroots and Civil Society Collaboratives
We empower grassroots organisations, local networks, and civil society to drive community-led climate action. We equip local leaders with knowledge, tools, and finance to scale impact, shape policy, and fast-track the energy transition.
Mobilising Capital for Inclusive Climate Impact
We unlock climate finance for communities, civil society, and enterprises. Our gender-responsive, community-first investments put capital in the hands of those creating Just Transitions and practical climate solutions, delivering lasting impact for both people and the planet.
