Climate
SOLUTIONS
We support initiatives and projects focused on adaptation, mitigation and removal climate intervention technologies with a focus on climate justice.
Supporting Impactful Technologies
The Paris agreement’s goal was to limit the average increase of global temperature to 1.5 degrees celsius above pre-industrial temperatures by 2100. Current projects estimate we will surpass the 1.5°C warming limit in the next 10 years.
​
To dramatically slow down this increase in temperature and reduce our chances of experiencing the catastrophic effects of climate change, we need to prevent additional carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere and remove what has been compounded for the last 300 years.
​
Our foundation accelerates promising climate startups that work to build technologies with the hope of reversing the effects of climate change.
