Google.org Impact Challenge on Climate Innovation

We want to support the work of nonprofits, experts, and organizations around the world that will accelerate advances in climate information and action. We are looking for solutions that help the global community illuminate previously opaque climate challenges and enable collective climate actions.

The Challenge is open to any not-for-profit charity, other not-for-profit organization, public or private academic or research institution, or for-profit social enterprise company with a project that has an explicit charitable purpose. Your organization must have a registered office in your country of residence.

Criteria:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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!
4. 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.
