Funding for Environmental Justice Initiatives from the Bezos Earth Fund
“Frontline communities are powerful agents of change in driving solutions, but traditionally very few resources have been allocated to them. We will not achieve the transformations required without also addressing systemic issues, oppressive policies, and the decades of underfunding that cause harm to the most vulnerable in society.
Frontline communities often experience the first and worst effects of climate change, so it’s critical that we address these inequities and prioritize projects that uplift these populations. We are committed to justice and equity.
We have committed over $300 million to environmental justice groups in the U.S and have convened a coalition of philanthropists who have committed $1.7 billion to support Indigenous People in tropical forest areas. We invest in resources for underserved areas and help equip them with the tools needed to improve their quality of life.”
