Climate Curve
Keeling Curve Prize Impact Analysis Fellow
About the Organization
Climate Curve decarbonizes the planet by elevating the world’s best climate leaders and deploying the resources they need to scale their solutions. We are globally recognized for activating and accelerating climate mitigation solutions that work. We do this by providing critical resources, talent, visibility, and capital opportunities to entrepreneurs and social impact leaders with effective and scalable climate solutions across land, oceans, and atmosphere. We know that there is no singular solution to climate change, but the technologies and approaches needed to build a livable future already exist. We believe that by skilling the next generation of climate leaders and providing a continuum of support to climate companies and nonprofits, we can rapidly fill many of the infrastructural and resource gaps currently hindering climate progress. We envision a world where the balance of global carbon cycles is restored. Driven by this imperative, Climate Curve is building the next generation of climate leaders, reducing friction in climate finance, and developing partnerships across economic, academic, governmental, and social impact sectors to construct a world free from fossil fuels and other contributors to anthropogenic greenhouse gases.
Fellowship Description:
This fellow will work with a team of Climate Curve staff and analysts to deepen the analysis of the Keeling Curve Prize’s impact since 2018, evaluating the progress of organizations toward financial sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions impact. This analysis will play a pivotal role in analyzing the case for prize-based philanthropy and the Keeling Curve Prize’s approach in particular. Through this experience, the fellow will gain experience in valuation, market analysis, scouting and evaluation of climate action initiatives and startups, building a case for private-sector investment, and publishing climate impact data. They will work with a circle of climate experts from KCP’s analyst team and Climate Curve staff on this project.
