For us, the Keeling Curve Prize was the first true validation by somebody who was focused on climate mitigation and climate-removal strategies that what we were doing made sense. So the prize was really important to us, since we needed that — we needed people to start to believe in what we were doing.

Let's Decarbonize the Planet
At the Global Warming Mitigation Project, we tackle the climate crisis by spotlighting and advancing the most promising climate solutions from around the globe. Our interconnected program model unites three core initiatives, providing vital resources- from networking and community building to boosting visibility and credibility.
Through our prestigious Keeling Curve Prize, we meticulously assess each application with the help of expert climate scientists. Winners receive essential funding, crucial for navigating the "valley of death" - a critical phase where new ventures face significant challenges before becoming financially viable. This support accelerates their projects and offers them substantial exposure.
In tandem, our Constellations Fellowship program empowers students and recent graduates by placing them directly within these top-performing organizations - only available to Keeling Curve Prize laureates and finalists. Organizations can request up to three fellows each semester, integrating fresh perspectives and essential manpower to drive their initiatives forward.
The impact is profound. Since our inception, we've awarded $2.25 million to 70 nonprofits, companies, and startups, vetted over 1,600 viable solutions, and provided over 350 fellowships.
We are not just fostering innovation; we are building a sustainable future that benefits everyone. We commit to equity and inclusivity in every aspect of our work, ensuring that our impact is broad and deep.
