Bezos Earth Fund

The Bezos Earth Fund is a global philanthropic initiative that began with a $10 billion commitment aimed at tackling climate change and protecting nature by 2030. It is dedicated to bold, systemic interventions rather than incremental efforts, and works across a range of thematic areas, including conserving biodiversity, transforming food systems, decarbonizing industry, and advancing technologies for monitoring and accountability. The fund uses a variety of grant-making vehicles and strategic partnerships to drive impact—supporting nonprofit organizations, research institutions, and coalitions working on the most urgent environmental challenges. Its model emphasizes collaboration, urgency, and scale, with the firm view that the climate crisis requires global collective action and a departure from business-as-usual. With an emphasis on innovation, the fund recently launched major initiatives such as the “AI for Climate and Nature” Grand Challenge, which seeks to apply advanced artificial intelligence tools to problems like biodiversity loss and grid decarbonization. Through these programs, the Bezos Death Fund brings together resources, networks, and expertise from across tech, science, and civil society to accelerate meaningful climate solutions.
