The mission of the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation focuses on making impactful investments to improve our world by addressing critical challenges such as climate change. They aim to advance solutions that benefit humanity and the planet, with a strong emphasis on innovative and collaborative approaches. The foundation is actively involved in supporting projects that integrate community involvement, especially those that engage Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities, in the pursuit of environmental sustainability, biodiversity preservation, and climate change mitigation.
This new initiative by the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation aims to provide up to $5 million in support of Natural Climate Solutions (NCS) projects within the Pacific Northwest. The initiative stresses the importance of deploying rigorous, community-driven NCS projects that not only accelerate climate mitigation efforts but also deliver co-benefits for biodiversity and human well-being. A unique element of this program is its emphasis on partnership and inclusivity, advocating for collaborations between Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs), nonprofits, academia, and professional research societies. The goal is to harness the potential of nature-based solutions to significantly contribute to CO2 mitigation, with the expectation that these projects will be sustainable, climate-additional, measurable, and equitable. Highlighting the regional focus, the program points to the Pacific Northwest's significant potential for contributing to net-zero goals through established and emerging NCS pathways.
