Bezos Earth Fund’s Post

We run something together with the World Resources Institute called the System Change Lab that looks at the 50 transitions that need to take place this decade and the next. And we ask the question, how close are they to the tipping points where beyond which change becomes irresistible and unstoppable? And then we ask what's stopping them getting there? And that's where we try and allocate our resources. And sometimes, as you say, it's it's in areas that maybe governments or are are less keen to go and the private sector is not willing to go yet. So there's a, there's a sort of a window of opportunity for us there. So for example, the work we're doing in the Congo Basin. Is risky, but it's worth it because it's one of the three great tropical forest areas. It's the what's the only one of the three at the moment that is still absorbing very substantial amounts of carbon dioxide. So it's very, very important. It would be protected.
