Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund

Our $1 billion investment initiative to accelerate technology development and deployment of new climate innovations through equity and debt capital. We will focus our funding on investments primarily based on four criteria: ▪ Climate Impact Meaningful, measurable climate solutions in the areas of carbon, water, waste, and ecosystems. ▪ Underfunded Markets Investing where the capital need for climate solutions is not being met. ▪ Shared Alignment Technologies that are relevant to Microsoft’s core business and that of our customers. ▪ Climate Equity Ensuring developing economies and underserved communities benefit from climate solutions. We’ll focus on areas such as direct carbon removal, digital optimization, advanced energy systems, industrial materials, circular economy, water technologies, sustainable agriculture, and business strategies for nature-based markets.
