$4.8 million partnership will scale breakthrough innovations tackling climate change and nature loss across the globe.
—
Today, the Bezos Earth Fund announced a collaboration to fund 48 pioneering solutions over the next three years with The Earthshot Prize.
The initiative will identify and support innovators from The Earthshot Prize’s global pool of nominations which have not been selected as Finalists for the Prize, helping accelerate transformative projects that drive meaningful progress in climate mitigation and nature protection.
The Bezos Earth Fund will provide $4.8 million, over three years, to back 16 solutions each year. The projects will be sourced from the extensive network of high-impact environmental innovations that have been nominated for The Earthshot Prize – reflecting the Prize’s mission to mobilise a decade of action for the planet.
The first 16 organisations will receive $100,000 to help expand their operations and amplify their impact. From harnessing cutting-edge technology to empowering local communities, these grantees will represent the bold, creative innovation needed to reimagine what’s possible for people and the planet.
This first announced grantees are:
Innovation is everywhere – from labs to local communities. Yet too often, these ideas remain small when the world urgently needs them at scale. Through our partnership with The Earthshot Prize, we can help ensure these breakthroughs don’t simply stay sparks of promise but grow into transformative solutions capable of reshaping our future trajectory.
With new funding opportunities and the reach of The Earthshot Prize’s unparalleled global network, we are unlocking pathways for bold climate and nature innovations to expand across borders, accelerate systemic change, and deliver the impact this decisive decade demands to protect people and the planet.
Partnering with the Bezos Earth Fund on this unique funding initiative is a powerful testament to both organisations’ commitment to elevating and scaling breakthrough climate solutions. The Earthshot Prize selects 15 Finalists each year, but our wider pool of nominations represents a global pipeline of innovators and investable solutions that benefit both people and planet.
Collaborating with the Bezos Earth Fund to support additional high-potential solutions is at the heart of our commitment to working with partners who share our vision. By combining our strengths to support 48 carefully selected grantees from The Earthshot Prize’s pool of nominations, our partnership with the Bezos Earth Fund means we will continue to drive systemic change beyond our annual Prize cycle, delivering real-world impact at scale and speed.
The Earthshot Prize is the world’s most impactful and prestigious award connecting innovators, funders, businesses, and communities to back climate leaders and restore confidence in humanity’s ability to protect the planet.
