“From the high arctic to the tropics, ORCA grantees demonstrate the vital role of our oceans and coastal communities in addressing the climate crisis. ORCA will accelerate this critical work while transforming the scale and ambition of ocean-climate philanthropy.”

About the Ocean Resilience and Climate Alliance (ORCA)

The Ocean Resilience and Climate Alliance (ORCA) is a 5-year collaborative initiative dedicated to unlocking the ocean’s potential as a powerful force in the fight against climate change. While the ocean has absorbed 25% of the carbon dioxide and 90% of the excess heat generated by global warming, it is also a key player in climate solutions. ORCA aims to propel ocean-based climate interventions, including offshore wind, blue carbon, and ocean carbon dioxide removal, which could contribute nearly half of the carbon solutions needed to keep global warming below 2°C.

Rivian Foundation's grant

Rivian Foundation provided founding support to launch the Ocean Resilience and Climate Alliance (ORCA), a groundbreaking funder collaborative dedicated to scaling ocean-based solutions to combat climate change. By injecting surge funding into high-impact interventions like ocean renewables, shipping decarbonization, and blue carbon restoration, Rivian Foundation and other ORCA funders are helping to address the severe funding gap in the ocean-climate space and drive long-term success in mitigating climate change through ocean resilience.
