TLDR:
- Global Warming Mitigation Project (GWMP) and VoLo Earth Ventures partner to create the Climate Impact Conduit, a database for global, climate-focused entrepreneurs and non-profits.
- The database includes a mix of companies and non-profits working in various climate categories.
Article Summary:
Local non-profit, Global Warming Mitigation Project (GWMP), and venture capital fund, VoLo Earth Ventures, have collaborated to develop the Climate Impact Conduit, often referred to as the ‘Wikipedia of climate solutions.’ The database, which launched in fall, includes around 60% companies and 40% non-profits focused on different climate categories such as carbon sinks, energy, finance, and social and cultural pathways.
The organizations listed in the database have been sourced from submissions to GWMP’s Keeling Curve Prize, which awards $50,000 to projects showing the ability to reduce, replace, or remove greenhouse gases. Users can explore detailed information about the organizations, making it a valuable resource for funders and philanthropists looking to support climate initiatives.
The partnership with VoLo Earth Ventures brings expertise in analyzing projects for commercial success in the climate market. By providing a platform for organizations that don’t win the prize to gain exposure to global climate funders, the database aims to accelerate decarbonization efforts.
Both GWMP and VoLo Earth Ventures highlight the importance of incentivizing climate-friendly actions in a capitalist society. The database is seen as a tool for connecting funders with organizations in need of financial support to pursue climate goals.
As the Climate Impact Conduit continues to grow with more organizations being added through the Keeling Curve Prize, it provides opportunities for all listed participants to access funding and resources for their climate initiatives.
