Enabling a more sustainable world

Our actions alone won’t solve the climate crisis. We’re committed to helping build the enabling societal conditions that will support a net zero economy.

Our global approach

We’re focused on accelerating the availability of new climate technologies, strengthening our climate policy agenda, and advocating for skilling programs to expand the green workforce.

Investing in climate innovation

We’ve created a $1 billion Climate Innovation Fund to accelerate the global development of carbon reduction and removal technologies, as well as related climate solutions to reduce water use and waste.

Accelerate sustainability solutions with AI features

Microsoft is investing in AI-based solutions in areas where progress on our global sustainability goals is bottlenecked. As the world enters a new era of AI, there is both an opportunity and an urgent need to focus the abilities of AI on accelerating sustainability.

Advocating for net zero

Microsoft and the broader private sector have an important role to play in advocating for effective and innovative sustainability policies. We pledge to use our voice on public policy issues to help advance global decarbonization efforts.

Empowering the global workforce

To support our own work in sustainability and the needs of businesses around the globe, we see the need to dramatically change the landscape of green jobs and skilling across industries.

Employee engagement

At Microsoft, we recognize that our employees are our most important asset and resource in advancing innovation in sustainability. We’re creating opportunities for them to contribute to our efforts.

Green jobs and skilling

To transform the global economy, the sustainability workforce must grow quickly. Driven by new climate policies and commitments, we expect to see millions of new green jobs created globally. We’re taking action with LinkedIn to empower the workforce with the green skills needed to drive climate progress.
