SHOCKWAVE

Shockwave was born in 2020, building on the work of its founder, Paul Traina, who set out to tackle some of the world's most pressing global challenges... Our name, Shockwave, is inspired by Alvin Toffler's groundbreaking book Future Shock, where he foresaw a world of such rapid change that it would overwhelm our ability to adapt. At Shockwave, we aim to do more than just adapt--we strive to buffer and respond to the massive shifts driven by the climate crisis, empowering communities to thrive in an era of unprecedented change... Shockwave's mission is to fuel bold innovation for climate resilience, empowering frontline communities to thrive in a world of rapid change. Through strategic investments and grants, we catalyze transformative solutions in climate adaptation, focusing on projects with scalable impact and long-term sustainability.
