Jeff Bezos has committed $10 billion to start the Bezos Earth Fund and, according to this Instagram post, the foundation will begin issuing grants this summer. Well played sir!
Climate change is the biggest threat to our planet. I want to work alongside others both to amplify known ways and to explore new ways of fighting the devastating impact of climate change on this planet we all share. This global initiative will fund scientists, activists, NGOs — any effort that offers a real possibility to help preserve and protect the natural world. We can save Earth. It’s going to take collective action from big companies, small companies, nation states, global organizations, and individuals.
