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.

On June 2, 2026, the Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation selected two demonstration-scale facilities — Phoenix Tailings (with MIT and the University of Minnesota) for $66 million, and the Colorado School of Mines (with ElementUSA, PNNL, Principal Mineral, and Rare Earth Technologies Inc.) for the balance — under the Rare Earth Elements Demonstration Facility Program. Both projects pull rare earths from industrial waste — red mud at the Gramercy refinery in Louisiana, and a mix of mine and refining tailings elsewhere. Here is what the selections tell researchers, small businesses, and downstream magnet customers about where DOE thinks the chokepoint actually is, and what to do before the next demonstration-scale solicitation opens.
