World’s richest man Jeff Bezos commits $15 billion to climate crusade

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has committed a fraction of his extraordinary wealth to a crusade against climate change — which he describes as the “biggest threat to our planet” — despite leading the emissions-heavy company that delivers billions of packages globally each year. The world's richest man made the pledge on Instagram where he announced the launch of the Bezos Earth Fund. Beginning from summer in the northern hemisphere, Mr Bezos said the fund will finance scientists, activists, NGOs and “any effort that offers a real possibility to help preserve and protect the natural world”.
