Jeff Bezos's $10 billion climate and biodiversity fund has withdrawn its financial support from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), raising alarms about a trend among billionaires siding with anti-climate sentiments linked to Trump. The Earth Fund had been a crucial contributor, supplying a significant portion of SBTi's funding. While officials claim the funding was an expired commitment, experts worry it reflects a broader retreat from climate advocacy by wealthy individuals under Trump's influence. This decision echoes previous actions by Bezos that align with anti-climate rhetoric, marking a disturbing shift in funding priorities for climate initiatives.
You look at Bezos and the folks he's hanging out with in the billionaires club, and you realise this is about more than SBTi.
Prof Doreen Stabinsky highlighted how Bezos is bowing down to Trump in a way a bunch of billionaires are bowing down to Trump.
