Middle EastL’Oréal Climate Emergency Fund
It is estimated that climate-driven disasters have increased five-fold over the past 50 years1.
The L’Oréal Climate Emergency Fund launched in 2023 is a 15 million euro endowment fund aimed at supporting communities in the most exposed areas by enabling expert partner organizations to help them prepare for and recover from climate disasters.
The funds are directed towards two types of actions: ‘Prepare,’ to help minimize the impact of climate disasters before they occur, through disaster planning and early warning systems; and ‘Repair,’ to restore essential infrastructures and vital services such as healthcare, housing and access to food and water when disaster strikes.
The fund builds on L’Oréal Groupe’s longstanding commitment to address growing humanitarian and environmental challenges.
Our Partners
In 2025, the L'Oréal Climate Emergency Fund deepened its commitment to addressing the impacts of extreme climate change-driven events, supporting diverse projects to bolster community resilience. Our partnerships with local organisations strengthen early warning systems, empower vulnerable populations—especially women and marginalised groups—to manage climate risks, provide crucial humanitarian assistance, and integrate innovative solutions for improved forecasting and decision-making, globally.
In Kenya, we collaborated with Slum Dwellers International in Nairobi on a mental health project that trains 1,300 young people in psychological resilience, with the goal of establishing peer-led emotional support programmes and a scalable, community-driven model. Our partnership with The Foundation in Support of the World Health Organization is focused on safeguarding the wellbeing of Somali populations against climate shocks by enabling early detection, strengthening local health services and infrastructure, and management of climate-related epidemics in a highly exposed country.
With World Vision France in Peru and Ecuador, we are supporting the development of an AI-powered early warning system for Amazonian communities. It integrates traditional indigenous knowledge with scientific data to enhance communities’ understanding of climate risk and allow them to better anticipate and adapt to floods or other climatic threats.
