The Carbon Mapper Coalition
The Carbon Mapper Coalition is a first-of-its-kind public-private partnership working to develop and deploy two satellites that will help us detect, quantify, and share facility-scale data on greenhouse gas emissions to empower mitigation action. This collaboration lays the foundation for a larger goal to scale the system to a full constellation — providing routine monitoring and accelerating impact.
A unique partnership
Backed by philanthropy and led by Carbon Mapper, the coalition brings together entities with expertise across technology, science, engineering, government, and policy. Together, we are capable of driving more impact than any one organization could accomplish on its own at the scale needed to drive emissions reductions.
Coalition members
NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Planet Labs PBC, California Air Resources Board (CARB), University of Arizona, Arizona State University, and RMI — along with funders, including High Tide Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, and the Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment among others.
