Description
The Climate Intervention Environmental Impact Fund (CIEIF) supports independent, objective analysis of innovative climate intervention technologies on the verge of small-scale field testing. Grants fund environmental impact assessment (EIA), predictive impact modeling, and engagement with potentially affected stakeholders, including local communities and government agencies. The fund values interventions with the potential to scale to globally meaningful climate benefits and seeks analysis of foreseeable environmental, economic, social, public health, and safety challenges.
Supported work may include independent consulting on impact analysis, modeling, social license, and health issues. CIEIF also offers advice on technical, siting, legal, and permitting matters. Publication is central to the program: supported papers and externally peer-reviewed reports are intended to serve as models for future climate intervention field tests. CIEIF is affiliated with Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs, a U.S. 501(c)(3) public charity.
