Overview
This project grant to the ClimateWorks Foundation would fund the establishment of an international climate communications infrastructure in China, India, and Brazil, to support efforts around the United Nations Convention on Climate Change in Paris in 2015. It will also fund the establishment of a Climate Briefing Service, which will work with the communications effort to provide country-specific content to critical governmental bodies in support of country-specific emissions reduction targets. These targets will form the basis of any UNFCCC agreement in Paris. After the UNFCCC meetings, the communications infrastructure will play a key role in future national efforts.

Grants to this Grantee
for Carbon Dioxide Removal Program
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change found that carbon dioxide removal (CDR), alongside emissions reduction interventions, will be needed at a global scale to curb the worst effects of climate change. By 2050, the world will need to remove at least 10 gigatons, per year, of carbon dioxide, and continue doing so for hundreds of years. To meet carbon removal targets by 2050, a comprehensive approach to CDR is necessary. ClimateWorks is driving a global philanthropic strategy to meet this challenge with focused work to scale direct air capture technologies in California. (Substrategy: Carbon Negative)
for support of U.S. Foreign economic policy for global green industrial policy
ClimateWorks Foundation is a global organization with a single mission: to end the climate crisis by amplifying the power of philanthropy. This grant supports the efforts of ClimateWorks’ Sustainable Finance Program to educate the public and US government actors on the importance of a coherent approach to international aspects of green industrial policy across relevant US government departments and agencies. This includes mobilizing a coalition and advancing research and engagement strategies to build U.S. leadership in this critical area.
