Bezos Earth Fund

The Bezos Earth Fund is Jeff Bezos's $10 billion commitment to funding scientists, activists, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to drive solutions for climate change and nature conservation.

The fund's primary activity is grantmaking. It directs capital towards a range of climate change, conservation, clean energy, and food system initiatives. The organization operates on a global scale, supporting a variety of actors that are working to address environmental challenges.

A significant portion of its funding, $1 billion, is allocated to transforming food systems by 2030. This includes creating the next generation of nutrient-rich and climate-resilient crops. The fund also supports technological solutions, having launched an AI Grand Challenge to explore the use of artificial intelligence in addressing climate and nature issues. Another key area is the Greenhouse Gas Removal (GHGR) Initiative, which is focused on scaling technologies to remove GHG from the atmosphere.

The fund's approach is to support game-changing solutions and use data to track emissions and hold actors accountable for their climate impact. It aims to foster an economic transition towards a more sustainable model for the coming decades.
