AI for Climate and Nature | Bezos Earth Fund AI for Climate and Nature AI is central to our work at the Bezos Earth Fund. Across our programs, we’re harnessing its power to transform how the world addresses climate and nature, uniting diverse expertise to unlock breakthrough solutions that safeguard our planet for future generations. AI for Climate and Nature TED x Bezos Earth Fund event during New York Climate Week.
Leveraging AI to Address Climate Change and Protect Nature Climate change and threats to nature are among the world’s biggest problems, and we want to find solutions that take advantage of one of the world’s biggest opportunities: artificial intelligence. AI is already helping people monitor greenhouse gas emissions, detect forest fires, and advance renewable energy. But it’s time to do more, faster.
AI, when used responsibly, can supercharge efforts to design and deploy solutions to help protect our planet and our future. At the Earth Fund, we’re focused on where AI is headed — toward powerful, specialized tools that can drive real impact across food, energy, biodiversity, and nature. One way we do this is by identifying experts who are already solving hard problems, and helping them scale with AI.
We’re the bridge, connecting frontier AI companies and tools to people on the ground tackling climate and nature challenges every day. The Earth Fund has supported the development of multiple publications that analyze the current connections existing between both AI and climate, and AI and nature, including where there are opportunities to scale impact. Learn more about our publications.
In April 2024, we announced a multi-year $100 million AI for Climate and Nature Grand Challenge to accelerate climate and nature solutions by funding innovative approaches that leverage modern AI to deliver greater speed, scale, accuracy, and precision. We also support initiatives like the Land and Carbon Lab , which creates cutting-edge open data on nature, and uses AI to make it more accessible and actionable than ever before.
The promise of AI lies not just in its algorithms, but in how we choose to use it. By aligning technological innovation with the urgent needs of climate and nature, we can unlock solutions that safeguard communities, restore ecosystems, and accelerate the journey toward a nature-positive future.
The Bezos Earth Fund is committed to making sure AI serves as a force for good—ensuring that innovation helps us protect the planet we all depend on.

NSF 26-516 folds Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, Earth Sciences and Ocean Sciences into a single GEO Core solicitation: $110 million, 200 to 350 awards, proposals accepted anytime. Geosciences piloted no-deadline review nine years ago and knows what it does to submission volume. Here is the per-award math, the ship-time and permitting traps, and the two-year data-archive clock that now governs every award.
Read articleThe Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation is spending to break America's 95% dependence on foreign rare earths. The strategy is unusual: recover critical materials from the waste streams of coal plants, smelters, and refineries that already exist. Here is the full funding architecture — the $75M just awarded, the $500M battery-materials round, the $1B pipeline behind them — and how an industrial operator should position for what comes next.
