Google Impact Challenge for climate innovation 2022

At Google, we think that collaboration is key to making progress toward resolving an issue as significant and urgent as climate change.

We wish to support nonprofits, professionals, and groups working globally to increase knowledge and action associated with climate change. We are searching for solutions that will enable collective climate action and help the international community understand previously hidden climate concerns. Previous Google.org-funded projects have restored ecosystems, mapped emissions on a global scale, and made it possible for small enterprises to understand their carbon footprint.

Applications for the Google.org Impact Challenge on Climate Innovation are now open.

Application criteria

Ambition

We are looking for transformational solutions that have potential for global impact. While your idea does not need to immediately reach millions of people globally, you should articulate how it could ultimately do so. We encourage collaboration between multiple organizations, as coalitions may be helpful for achieving the scale of solutions we’re hoping to support.

Impact

Projects should drive tangible, real world impact for both the climate and people. The proposal should explain how it will tackle climate change and/or the extent to which it will support others to do so too. Successful applications will be grounded in data and research.

Innovative use of technology

Ideas should apply technology by creating or enabling new solutions and approaches. Applications can also propose innovative applications of existing technology – solutions that apply AI and machine learning are encouraged!

Feasibility

Successful proposals will have well-developed and realistic execution plans supported with the resources and expertise needed for implementation. Taking on big, scalable ideas with technology at their core is difficult, and we look for teams that are equipped to implement the proposed project.
