Background on the Global Warming Mitigation Project and Keeling Curve Prize

The Global Warming Mitigation Project (GWMP) identifies and accelerates clean energy and carbon drawdown projects worldwide and provides the capital, resources, and talent they need to scale. The flagship Keeling Curve Prize is globally recognized as one of the only climate awards backed by a rigorous scientific vetting process and a council of l2 climate experts.

GWMP's interconnected programs provide an ecosystem of support for Keeling Curve Prize applicants, which have so far totaled more than l,500 across l03 countries. The Constellations Fellowship is a l2-to-l4-week career-building program that enables aspiring climate leaders to gain hands-on professional experience while providing much needed organizational capacity and talent to climate startups. The Climate Impact Conduit program connects investors, philanthropists, and corporations with high-impact climate innovators for access to growth capital and carbon abatement. Each of these programs is strengthened by the GWMP Alliance, a network of partners working together toward a shared vision for a just and sustainable zero-emissions future.

There is no question that rapid and large-scale climate action must be taken immediately to avoid global catastrophe. The vision of the Global Warming Mitigation Project (GWMP) is to stabilize the earth's atmosphere, land, and oceans to ensure the continued vibrancy and vitality of this planet. We pursue this vision by resourcing projects and programs that are on track to collectively reduce global carbon emissions by l00B tonnes.

Through the Keeling Curve Prize, GWMP has awarded $l,250,000 in direct, unrestricted funding to 50 projects proven to reduce, remove, or replace heat-trapping greenhouse gases. Past laureates are paving the way to a livable future by conserving coastal and marine ecosystems, improving agricultural food systems, empowering frontline communities, initiating policy advancements, and much more. Cumulatively, the first 50 winners have already raised an additional $l.l billion since receiving the prize, and this year's applicants are poised for even greater impact.
