Outlier Projects advances research on nascent ideas with the potential for outsized impact on the climate crisis.
Outlier Projects accelerates frontier research to predict and prevent catastrophic climate risks. The climate stands on a knife’s edge. The world is blowing past the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C warming limit. Hotter temperatures threaten to activate runaway feedback loops and trigger planetary tipping points, like the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Decarbonization and adaptation are more essential than ever. But they may not be enough to safely manage “ temperature overshoot ,” including the danger that climate disasters could derail decarbonization and adaptation themselves. That’s why
