The 2030 Project aims to catalyze large-scale, meaningful, impact-oriented climate research at Cornell University, working across all colleges and professional schools, in this decisive decade of action.
To that end, we have launched the inaugural call for proposals to the Climate Solutions Fund, a new funding opportunity from The 2030 Project, administered by the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability.
The Climate Solutions Fund, which is supported in part by the generous proceeds from a Dead & Co. concert at Cornell, seeks to accelerate cross-disciplinary efforts in the 2030 Project pillars: food & farms of the future; the energy systems of the future; the materials of the future; and the societies of the future – helping to develop systems that support human flourishing while minimizing harmful climate impacts.
Proposals might include, but are not limited to, solutions involving renewable and zero-carbon energy production; zero-emission agriculture; decarbonized industrial processes and sustainable material extraction; climate finance and climate policy development; and climate justice and adaptation.
Eligibility:
Any professorial faculty and non-visiting RTE (Research, Teaching, Extension) faculty with a primary appointment at Cornell University, in any college, may apply. See Cornell PI eligibility guidelines for more detail.
