16 global organisations launch Impact Partners Coalition for Planetary Well-being — with Climate KIC as founding partner
The newly formed Impact Partners Coalition for Planetary Well-being and Human Flourishing gathers sixteen international organisations including Climate KIC to reimagine the global economy around life-centred principles, moving away from extractive industrial models toward systems that prioritise human and planetary benefits.
Addressing climate change, inequality, and ecological degradation requires systemic responses, not incremental fixes that are interconnected and demand coherence. This recognition has driven eleven leading organisations to form an unprecedented partnership that goes far beyond traditional climate action.
The Impact Partners Coalition for Planetary Well-being and Human Flourishing brings together Climate-KIC with TPC (Tsao Pao Chee) and NO.17 Foundation, Catalyst Now, Family Business Network International, Global Citizen, OceanX, Re:wild, Temasek Foundation, Stewardship Asia Centre, UNGC, the World Economic Forum’s GAEA initiative, Centre for Governance and Sustainability at NUS Business School, Philanthropy Aisa Alliance (PAA), and The Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN). These organisations represent a unique convergence of climate innovation, conservation science, family business leadership, and global advocacy, creating a comprehensive approach to transformation. The Coalition was first convened through IMPACT WEEK 2025, hosted in Singapore from 15th to 19th September.
“This Coalition is grounded in a new definition of impact—one that goes beyond performance or output to focus on actions that create value across all layers of life: ecological, societal, economic, and spiritual,” states the coalition’s founding document. This vision drives the initiative’s goal to transform cities, bioregions, and economic corridors from “sites of extraction and crisis” into “hubs of restoration and innovation.”
Radical collaboration for systemic change
The coalition operates through four interconnected transformation layers of systems, sectors, enabling conditions, and culture that work together to create systemic change. First, it reimagines social and planetary systems by prioritising interventions in critical areas like food, water, and energy, tied to the six pillars of the Well-being Economy (Well-being, Climate & Nature, Energy, Food, Circular Economy, Human Construct). Second, it regenerates these essential sectors through business model innovation and circular infrastructure. Third, it creates enabling conditions through aligned capital, policy frameworks, and new metrics that measure well-being rather than just GDP. Finally, it evolves culture and consciousness through narrative change, leadership development, and cultivating inner alignment.
Climate KIC will anchor the coalition’s place-based transformation portfolios, leveraging our Deep Demonstration methodologies to drive systemic change at regional levels. This role directly supports the coalition’s emphasis on place-based action, showcased at IMPACT WEEK 2025, while contributing to global systems change, recognising that “bioregions, cities, and cultural nodes are our primary units of change.”
“This coalition represents exactly the kind of radical collaboration needed to address the climate crisis at scale,” said Kirsten Dunlop, CEO of Climate KIC. “All of us, in our own organisations, have been working for a long time to move beyond isolated climate solutions toward integrated systems innovation. This partnership will help us accelerate progress. Climate KIC’s Deep Demonstration methodologies will help translate this coalition’s life-centred vision into concrete experimentation and decarbonisation strategies that communities can implement and scale.”
“At TPC, we believe business must be a force for life. This partnership allows us to connect Asia’s cultural foundations and family enterprise networks with Europe’s innovation methodologies to co-create systemic change. Together, we are building a Well-being Economy that allows people to grow, systems to flow, and life to flourish,” said Chavalit Frederick Tsao, Chairman of TPC.
The partnership’s strength lies in how each partner brings distinct capabilities while working toward a collective impact that transcends parallel activities. Rather than operating in silos, the coalition creates synergies where learning enriches innovation, capital backs governance, and narrative change amplifies legitimacy across all transformation layers.
Together, the partners aim to demonstrate that meaningful transformation can occur when diverse actors align around shared purpose while maintaining their unique contributions and local wisdom, creating a new model for collaborative climate action and advancing the blueprint for a Well-being Economy.
