Today, I\u2019m thrilled to announce I am launching the Bezos Earth Fund.\u2063\u2063\u2063 \u2063\u2063\u2063 Climate change is the biggest threat to our planet. I want to work alongside others both to amplify known ways and to explore new ways of fighting the devastating impact of climate change on this planet we all share. This global initiative will fund scientists, activists, NGOs \u2014 any effort that offers a real possibility to help preserve and protect the natural world. We can save Earth. It\u2019s going to take collective action from big companies, small companies, nation states, global organizations, and individuals. \u2063\u2063\u2063 \u2063\u2063\u2063 I\u2019m committing $10 billion to start and will begin issuing grants this summer. Earth is the one thing we all have in common \u2014 let\u2019s protect it, together.\u2063\u2063\u2063 \u2063\u2063\u2063 – Jeff<\/a><\/p>\n
