A $4.8m partnership between the Bezos Earth Fund and The Earthshot Prize will see 16 projects a year for three years from the Prize’s pool of nominations, but not finalists, gain support to accelerate projects in climate mitigation and nature protection.

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:

Air Protein , Climatenza Solar, Instituto Floresta Viva, Forum Konservasi Leuser, Fundación Rewilding Argentina, Hyperion Robotics, InPlanet, Lasso, Mandai Nature, Mati Carbon, Mermaid, Asociación Conservacionista Misión Tiburón, Simple Planet, Snowchange Cooperative, Themeat Company and UP Catalyst.

Jason Knauf LVO, CEO of The Earthshot Prize, said: “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.”
