Solving for the climate crisis
In recent years, the world has hit record-high values of greenhouse gas emissions. In order to mitigate and adapt to this changing world, we need to bring them down to net zero by 2050. Our climate efforts focus on discovering and supporting climate technologies that can significantly cut emissions or help communities adapt to the growing impacts of the climate crisis.
By engaging with climate adaptation technologies that are rooted in the communities they serve, our innovators are implementing cutting-edge climate change solutions that center on sustainable impact.
The 2025 Global Climate Challenge
Climate change is an omnipresent issue marked by another year of record-breaking heat, intensifying extreme weather, and long-term impacts determined by near-term choices. While driven by emissions from energy, industry, and agriculture in a concentrated set of economies, climate change disproportionately impacts the up to 3.6 billion people living in contexts that are under-resourced and highly vulnerable. The climate crisis requires dramatic action from all stakeholders, including rapid technology deployment and further innovation alongside bold policies, financial commitments, and global market shifts.
The Global Climate Challenge seeks solutions that create a zero-carbon world and adapt to a warming climate.

Our climate Solver teams contribute a net reduction of 2.2+ million metric tons of CO2. That’s equivalent to taking 513,162 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles off the road each year. And they’re not stopping there.
