ABOUT US

A partner to communities and organizations

Farallon Strategies is a catalytic partner to communities and organizations that want to take bold actions to address climate change and the resulting impacts on our communities. We collaborate with stakeholders across the United States to pilot, test, and/or scale initiatives. Our expertise is rooted in our diversity of experiences and passion for creating a better world. 

Farallon Strategies launched in September of 2020 to activate emerging opportunities that support transformative change in climate and resilience governance, strategy, policies, programs, and projects in California and beyond. Incrementalism is no longer sufficient to drive the change we need to stabilize our climate and emerge a prosperous, equitable, and vibrant society for future generations. We help to spur innovation around climate change, sustainability, and resilience to transcend incrementalism. 

Farallon strategies helps fill a gap in the management consulting and policy landscape – not only providing fee for service and extension of staff relationships – but also partnership, strategy, and capacity building. We help create and activate networks to drive transformative change in organizations and communities.

We acknowledge and seek to better educate ourselves on the forms of historic and present discrimination and oppression of marginalized groups, including women, people of color, indigenous people, disabled people, or any other groups that are often denied a voice in impactful decisions. We value deep listening, understanding, and are open to feedback from all communities we work with and engage. Farallon Strategies seeks to actively collaborate with tribal, national, state, regional, and local partners to achieve racial and environmental justice for all communities.
