Reduction of C02e: Strong proposals of this kind will demonstrate high-quality estimations of direct carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) reductions. The Environmental Protection Agency has a greenhouse gas equivalencies calculator that may be useful in calculating these estimates. An organization may prefer to utilize a different CO2e calculator or estimate carbon savings in other ways. So long as an organization’s methodology for such estimations is clearly stated, applicants may utilize any tools they wish.
Climate Communication: Strong proposals of this kind will engage audiences to respond to climate change in their own distinct ways or will be dedicated to education or research toward solving large-scale barriers to climate action. The Yale Program on Climate Change Communication could be a helpful resource for projects like this.
Corporate engagement to advance climate goals: Strong proposals of this kind will focus on corporate engagement and will seek to influence businesses in their key climate change related practices in order to mitigate negative environmental impacts.
Other: Compelling proposals that help to reverse global warming in ways not mentioned above will also be considered.
