🌱 Announcing the @Gitcoin Grants climate round! 🌱
Climate is, arguably, the most fundamental category of public goods.
Our atmosphere is a part of the "global commons" – a common-pool resource accessible by all. We haven't been able to effectively manage this common-pool resource to avoid overexploitation, and now we need to coordinate to remove greenhouse gases at scale.
We're excited to bring Quadratic Funding to this space for the first time ever.
We're thrilled to be partnering with @all4climatedao @KlimaDAO @RegenNetwork @StakeFish and @ToucanProtocol and momus.eth to bring this round to life
More about the round and the amazing projects in it ↓
1/ While Gitcoin has historically focused primarily on Digital Public Goods, we're massively broadening our scope in Grants Round 12
The climate round is one of three cause rounds we're running in GR12, along with Advocacy & Longevity
2/ Just one day into this brand new climate round, we have 19 incredible projects in the round:
3/ Grantee Feature 1: The @SeaworthyGlobal Foundation empowers entrepreneurs in ocean and climate impact, while developing regenerative systems of solutions for the planet

6/ And in addition to running the climate round, we're thrilled to have the partnership of @ToucanProtocol in helping make GR12, as a whole, more planet positive.
