The Sustainability Accelerator in the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability will support work in new areas including energy, climate adaptation, industry, and more.

The Sustainability Accelerator at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability has named five new targets for its efforts to help people, economies, and ecosystems thrive worldwide by rapidly translating Stanford research into applied policy and technology solutions.

Ranging from food and agriculture to electricity and grid systems, the new targets join the Accelerator’s first Flagship Destination , which involves channeling resources toward Stanford-led projects that can help enable the removal of billions of tons of greenhouse gases annually from Earth’s atmosphere by the middle of this century.

The Accelerator will offer multi-year seed grants of up to $1 million per project under each of the new Flagship Destinations, which were selected after extensive discussions with faculty, staff, students, and external experts.

These projects will support the school’s broader efforts, announced on Aug. 6 , to focus research on a set of Solution Areas that includes climate, water, energy, food, nature, and cities, among other topics.

Sustainability safety net

"Destinations matter. Thinking big matters. This dramatic expansion of the Accelerator’s efforts recognizes both the magnitude of the challenges we face and the tremendous potential for realizing real and measurable impact," said Dean Arun Majumdar. "This moment also reflects the school’s core commitment to leveraging our expertise and skills across our entire research enterprise, from discovery to solutions to impact."

The new Flagship Destinations are climate adaptation, food and agriculture, freshwater, electricity and grid systems, and industry. Additional work supporting all the Accelerator’s targets will focus on improving sensing, measurement, and data analytics, and on leveraging biological systems to help solve challenges within any one of the Flagship Destinations. For example, bioengineering could contribute to the production of alternative protein sources.

"The fundamental goal of the Accelerator is sustainability impact at global scale. These Flagship Destinations represent targets where we see significant opportunities to protect or restore resources worldwide," said Yi Cui , faculty director of the Sustainability Accelerator and the Fortinet Founders Professor in the School of Engineering and the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. He emphasized that the targets are not mutually exclusive. "They are intertwined and inseparable. They weave a sustainability safety net for the world."

Ingenuity and cooperation

Faculty, staff, and students from across the university provided input and feedback to inform the new lineup of Flagship Destinations. Accelerator leadership, guided by a Faculty Advisory Council , also consulted external experts from non-governmental organizations and industry professionals with unique expertise in sustainability.

Each Flagship Destination was chosen for its potential to rapidly apply Stanford research to address climate change, biodiversity loss, disaster risk, and other sustainability challenges prioritized under the school’s Solution Areas. "Today’s sustainability challenges are daunting, but we can tackle them with human ingenuity and cooperation," said Accelerator executive director Charlotte Pera. "Our Flagship Destinations are ambitious, commensurate with the scale of the challenges we face, and Stanford can make substantial contributions to each one. We look forward to working with creative and committed teams from across the university to accelerate innovative solutions and have impact at scale."


    Climate adaptation : Improve the lives of one billion people by 2035 by enhancing adaptive capacity, strengthening resilience, protecting ecosystems, and reducing vulnerability to climate change, with a focus on climate-related extreme events.

    Food and agriculture : Reduce gigatons per year of greenhouse gas emissions from food and agriculture systems by 2035 while supporting the global goals of ending hunger, supplying healthy diets, and ensuring sustainable food production.

    Freshwater : Ensure availability, resiliency, sustainable management, and equitable access to clean water for all people, agriculture, industry, and ecosystems while minimizing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050.

    Electricity and grid systems : Reduce gigatons per year of greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector globally by 2035 while driving toward zero-GHG, reliable, flexible, affordable, and socially just electricity for all by 2050.

    Industry : Reduce gigatons per year of greenhouse gas emissions from industry by 2035 by launching solutions that are market-competitive, sustainable, scalable, and equitable.

    Greenhouse gas removal (announced 2023) : Remove gigatons of carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide equivalents from the atmosphere per year by mid-century through an integrated approach that will support the development of needed technological, governance, financial, and other societal innovations, including addressing equity and justice issues.



Two platforms cut across all six Flagship Destinations:


    Planetary intelligence : Support all Flagship Destinations by addressing gaps in the observation system, establishing measurement, and providing data-driven actionable insights through advanced techniques such as innovative sensing technologies and artificial intelligence (AI).

    Biological solutions for sustainability : Leverage biological systems across all Flagship Destinations to create and enhance sustainability solutions.



1 gigaton equals 1 billion metric tons. Annual global emissions of greenhouse gases are equivalent to about 60 gigatons of carbon dioxide. Most of these emissions come from burning fossil fuels.

Submit a proposal The Sustainability Accelerator is issuing requests for proposals (RFPs) for multi-year seed grants of up to $1 million across the five new Flagship Destinations and two new cross-cutting platforms.

RFPs for Climate Adaptation and Planetary Intelligence are open. RFPs for the remaining areas will be announced in October 2024.

Proposals are welcome from any Stanford University or SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory faculty. Involvement of Stanford graduate and undergraduate students, postdoctoral researchers, non-PI-eligible staff, and external partners is strongly encouraged.
