ICONIQ Impact Launches $50M Ocean Co-Lab for Climate Solutions and Coastal Resilience

ICONIQ Impact announced the Ocean Co-Lab, a $50 million collaborative philanthropy fund supporting 20 organizations addressing ocean-based climate solutions and coastal ecosystem resilience. The fund targets a critical gap where ocean-based solutions could deliver up to 35% of needed emission reductions but currently receive only 7% of climate funding. The initiative provides three-year grants across climate mitigation, carbon sequestration, blue carbon protection, and adaptation programs.
