One Earth

What One Earth does

One Earth is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (legally One Earth Philanthropy, EIN 85-2588841) founded in 2020 and headquartered in Culver City, California, with a staff of 11–50. Its mission is to mobilize coordinated climate and biodiversity action by connecting philanthropists, impact investors, policymakers, and citizens through open-access science, taxonomies, and digital tools. The organization has supported publication of 45+ scientific reports, including the 2019 Springer Nature volume 'Achieving the Paris Climate Agreement Goals'—the most-downloaded climate text in the publisher's history—and the 2020 Science Advances paper 'A Global Safety Net'.

One Earth's core offerings center on a Solutions Framework of 75+ climate solutions across three pillars (Energy Transition, Nature Conservation, Regenerative Agriculture), supported by a digital product suite. The One Earth Navigator is backed by a Bioregions framework of 185 ecological regions across 14 realms; the Global Safety Net maps the ~50% of terrestrial and ocean area most urgently requiring protection; the Solutions Finance Tracker, built with Vibrant Data Labs, aggregates nearly $400 billion in climate capital flows across more than 10,000 US-based companies and nonprofits; and the proprietary One Earth Razor's Edge Climate Model (OEreCM) was developed with the University of Technology Sydney, German Aerospace Centre, and University of Melbourne. Recent additions include the April 2026 Ecoregion Snapshots (co-developed with RESOLVE, covering 800+ terrestrial ecoregions) and the 2025 'Minding the Gaps' Climate Finance Report.

Revenue is generated entirely through charitable contributions, donations, and grants rather than product or service fees; all tools, reports, and content are provided free of charge. The organization self-reports having raised more than $16 million for climate solutions. Distribution is digital and self-serve (oneearth.org and a standalone Finance Tracker domain), amplified across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, and email newsletters, and through partner networks spanning conservation groups, policy forums, and philanthropist circles. Award recognition includes a 2026 Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid, a Four-Star Charity Navigator rating, a Fast Company 2021 World Changing Idea designation, and formal supporter status for the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.

Broad incumbents

• World Resources Institute (WRI): WRI is a large global research organization producing data, tools, and analysis on climate, energy, food, water, and cities — directly comparable in mission and science-driven climate/transition research, but with substantially greater scale, institutional funding, and a broader portfolio of overlapping capabilities.
• The Nature Conservancy: The Nature Conservancy is a large global conservation nonprofit working on land and water protection with scientific ecoregion mapping; directly comparable to the Global Safety Net, Bioregions Framework, and Ecoregion Snapshots products, though at significantly greater operational scale and budget.
• RMI (Rocky Mountain Institute): RMI is an independent nonprofit working on clean energy transition research and implementation; directly comparable on the Energy Transition pillar and decarbonization pathway analysis (adjacent to OEreCM), though RMI has a much larger operational footprint and project deployment capacity.

Direct peers

• Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi): SBTi helps companies and financial institutions set science-based emissions reduction targets aligned with the Paris Agreement; directly comparable in providing a science-anchored transition planning methodology, and shares an audience of corporate sustainability and investor decision-makers with One Earth's Solutions Framework and OEreCM.
• CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project): CDP runs a global disclosure system for environmental impact covering climate, water, and forests across thousands of companies; directly comparable to One Earth's Solutions Finance Tracker in aggregating large-scale climate/environmental data across thousands of organizations and producing decision-grade intelligence for investors and policymakers.
• ClimateWorks Foundation: ClimateWorks Foundation is a climate-focused philanthropy that funds and coordinates climate solutions worldwide; closely comparable as a climate philanthropy intermediary working on climate finance flows and solution deployment, and overlaps with One Earth's Minding the Gaps analysis and donor-facing audience.
• Project Drawdown: Project Drawdown is a nonprofit climate solutions research organization that catalogs and reviews the most impactful climate solutions — directly comparable to One Earth's Solutions Framework of 75+ science-backed solutions and comparable mission, science-driven methodology, and open-publication model.
• Climate Action Tracker (CAT): Climate Action Tracker is an independent scientific analysis body that tracks government climate commitments and action against Paris Agreement goals; directly comparable in providing science-based policy assessment and climate trajectory analysis, and complements One Earth's OEreCM scenario model with government-by-government accountability.

Emerging players

• Patch: Patch is an API-driven carbon credit marketplace and climate infrastructure provider focused on quantifying and transacting carbon across thousands of businesses; comparable as a climate finance data and infrastructure player serving a corporate sustainability audience, though operating a for-profit model and with narrower scope than One Earth.

Others

• Greenfield Partners / Climate Action Platform: Ecosystem participants including climate-focused investment platforms and philanthropic advisory firms that distribute climate capital flows to portfolio solutions; relevant as indirect comparables because they share One Earth's donor-investor audience and overlap on the Solutions Finance Tracker's climate capital allocation insights.
