AI for Climate and Nature

Climate change is threatening lives and livelihoods around the world. The Bezos Earth Fund is fostering collaboration among innovators across climate, nature, and AI to create solutions that will deliver a healthier planet for all.

TED x Bezos Earth Fund: AI for Climate and Nature Event, New York Climate Week 2025.

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. 

By creating new alliances among innovators across climate, nature, and AI, the Bezos Earth Fund will identify and support impactful AI-powered solutions. We identify experts who are already solving hard problems and help 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. 

Publication Highlights

To inform the design of the AI for Climate and Nature Grand Challenge, the Bezos Earth Fund supported the development of three publications that analyze the current connections existing between both AI and climate, and AI and nature including where there are opportunities to scale impact. The reports and other resource information for Grand Challenge applicants can be found here.
