The Keeling Curve Prize: How a Climate Action Prize Gets It Done

When implementing solutions to an incredibly complex problem, one does not immediately think of offering prizes, but when it comes to highlighting solutions to climate action, prizes appear to be effective. The Global Warming Mitigation Project’s flagship program, the Keeling Curve Prize (KCP), has a track record of an impressive team of experts and a robust process for attracting applications that includes screening and scoring global organizations while incorporating a coordinating supporting system. The prize has demonstrated measurable results. Climate action needs planetary transformational systems changes to happen quickly, and prizes are proving to be one of the effective vehicles to rapid progress.
