Climate Change AI Announces Innovation Grantees (April 29, 2026) | Climate Change AI Climate Change AI Innovation Grants Award $1. 7M to Projects Worldwide Interdisciplinary innovators using AI to fight climate change receive funding via the prestigious Climate Change AI Innovation Grants Program for catalytic projects and dataset creation.
Today, Climate Change AI announced awardees in its Innovation Grants program, which funds cross-sectoral teams tackling important climate challenges using AI algorithms. Climate Change AI is a nonprofit organization that has been critical in building the field of AI-for-climate.
Its Innovation Grants program has become exceptionally competitive, with 12 projects chosen this year out of over 400 submissions from institutions in 78 countries, with a total value of $1. 7M USD in grants awarded.
“We target especially catalytic projects using AI for climate action,” explained Dr. Maria João Sousa, Executive Director of Climate Change AI, “On top of direct impacts, teams are expected to build critical datasets as a digital public good supporting further innovation, and to release open-source code.
” Prof. Priya Donti of MIT, Co-Founder of Climate Change AI and one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in AI, said: “In a time where people often think AI means large language models from big tech, these projects show that on-the-ground impact often comes from completely different kinds of AI built by multi-stakeholder teams to match targeted societal needs.
” This round of the Climate Change AI Innovation Grants program was made possible thanks to the support of Quadrature Climate Foundation , Google DeepMind , and the Global Methane Hub . Climate Change AI is also grateful to the Canada Hub of Future Earth for serving as the fiscal sponsor for this program. Funding was awarded to the following projects, for which further information is available at www.
