TOGETHER WE our insights with thought leaders Shared around the globe.

President & CEO Dr. R. Max Holmes brought Woodwell Climate to the main stage of CERAWeek (a premier energy conference hosted by S&P Global), Green Accelerator Davos (at the site of the World Economic Forum), GenZero Climate Summit in Singapore, and Mountainfilm Festival, discussing cutting-edge climate science alongside notable figures like Bill McKibben and former Colombian President Iván Duque Márquez. Our participation in these conferences is largely supported by the Annual Fund.

Drs. Sue Natali and Peter Frumhoff both spoke on panels alongside other leading voices in climate at South

by Southwest in Austin, TX. Dr. Natali emphasized the importance of satellite imagery for climate action while Dr. Frumhoff joined a conversation about geoengineering to counteract global warming.

TOGETHER WE federal policymakers put climate Helped

ERIC LEE

science into action… in the U.S. and beyond.

Dr. Wayne Walker and Geospatial Analyst Seth Gorelik, along with long-time collaborator Dr. Dominick DellaSalla of Wild Heritage, delivered a research report to the Biden administration showing massive carbon stores in Tongass National Forest and highlighting the importance of roadless areas. The administration subsequently restored protection against logging and road-building for more than 9 million acres of the Tongass, the world’s largest intact temperate rainforest.

Dr. Marcia Macedo and collaborators, including Dr. Ane Alencar of partner organization IPAM Amazônia, convened a multi-day workshop in Brazil that produced a policy brief on forest degradation. They then organized experts to submit public comments on Brazil’s updated policy for controlling Amazon deforestation, which for the first time also addresses forest degradation.

FY23 Impact Report

TOGETHER WE collaborations and made new Deepened connections.

Last fall, Scotty Creek Research Station in Canada—one of the only Indigenous-led climate research stations in the world—was almost entirely consumed by a late-season wildfire. Woodwell Climate’s Permafrost Pathways project, led by Dr. Sue Natali, is providing rebuilding support to the Łíídl˛ı˛ı K�ų�ę First Nation. Dr. Kyle Arndt and Marco Montemayor visited the site for two weeks this spring to restore an essential carbon monitoring tower.

Our climate risk assessments went global this year, with our Just Access initiative working in close partnership with communities to provide tailored, actionable climate risk reports for Rio Branco, Brazil; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Summit County, Utah; and Lawrence, Massachusetts.

We emphasize collaborating with local officials to ensure the final reports cover information critical to their community’s planning—14 reports have been prepared so far, and more are on the way.

TOGETHER WE millions of people around the world Helped

understand how climate change is affecting them.

Dr. Jen Francis was quoted in over 4,200 news stories to provide accessible context about the links between climate change and extreme weather events. She was included in articles by some of the world’s largest and most influential news sources—such as The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, Financial Times, CNN, and The Weather Channel.

FY23 Impact Report

“Like most folks, we want our bequest to do as much good as possible. But how to choose, when there is so much need? After much thought, we decided to support climate change because it seems to underlie everything else: if we don’t have a livable planet, all other issues are a lost cause.

When we learned about Woodwell Climate Research Center, we felt we had found a perfect organization to support. Not only does Woodwell Climate do cutting-edge research, its scientists are also educating the public and influencing policymakers, with a reach that is both national and global. Our bequest, though modest, can really make a difference at Woodwell Climate. As an added benefit, we feel acknowledged and appreciated in a way you might not with a larger organization.”
