Our Journey

The Bezos Earth Fund was established with the largest philanthropic commitment ever to fight climate change and protect nature. We aim to harness the best of human ingenuity, adaptability, and collective action to create a future in which everyone can thrive.

The Bezos Earth Fund began in 2020 and is guided by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos’s belief that Earth is the best planet in this solar system. The initial $10 billion commitment will be dispersed to partners in countries and regions all around the globe to support the development of innovative solutions that help protect and restore the natural world so the planet remains a place we can—and want to—live on.

To deliver on our mission, we evaluate the best available science and data available to determine if this is the right time to invest. Implementing our ambitious goals will require new ways of working. No single set of actors can deliver success. We need all hands-on deck.

We believe in teamwork

The Bezos Earth Fund is led by an experienced and diverse team with expertise in climate science, philanthropy, public policy, and social and economic development. Together, we work to identify the greatest opportunities and deploy the necessary resources to reimagine the way our world works.
