Transforming movement of people and goods
Functioning transportation systems are fundamental to modern, prosperous societies. They provide a means to get to work, connect us to friends and family, enable movement of goods, and catalyze economic activity.
Our Transportation Program
The Transportation Program advances a sustainable, affordable, and low-carbon mobility system for people and goods movement. We broaden support for the transition to cleaner, and more efficient, and zero-emission vehicle and fuel technologies, and for increasing efficient transportation choices, including transit, walking, biking, and shared mobility. We work with NGOs, academia, business, policymakers, consumers, and other stakeholders to advance sound policy, innovation, and investment.
Road Transportation
We are accelerating the transition to zero-emission transportation in time to save the climate.
Maritime Shipping
We work in partnership to transform maritime shipping toward a carbon-free future.
Aviation
ClimateWorks leads the only philanthropic strategy and grantmaking portfolio to address the climate impacts of aviation globally. The aviation sector alone contributes around 5 percent of global greenhouse gases (both CO2 and non-CO2) and demand for air travel is expected to triple by 2050. ClimateWorks and its partners support strategies focused on driving deep decarbonization of the sector including advancing policy support for truly sustainable alternative fuels and other low-carbon aviation technologies while also working to build public awareness of aviation’s climate impacts.
