The WCF works with governments, businesses and financial institutions to "address climate, biodiversity, and resilience challenges by fostering public-private partnerships in climate, biodiversity and health, aligned with the Paris Agreement, the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the Sustainable Development Goals".[2]

Its stated mission is to "catalyse the economic transition to a sustainable future by promoting cross-sector collaboration, innovative partnerships and investments in climate and nature-based solutions."[3]

The Foundation receives most of its funding from annual partnerships with businesses and the financial sector, with the remainder coming from a portfolio of assignment and project work funded by governments and philanthropic partners.[4] It is governed by the Danish Foundation Act.[5]

WCF is a member of the Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action[6] and an NGO observer to the UNFCCC, UNCBD, and IRENA.
