2. Cool Earth

We are seeking groundbreaking innovations that specifically address the challenges posed by climate-induced extreme weather conditions.​

We are on the hunt for innovative solutions that enhance mitigation, resilience and adaptation to extreme weather events (especially heat) for a more liveable planet. We are also open to proposals that provide large-scale cooling benefits and adaptive solutions that strengthen resilience across diverse industries.​


Examples of such solutions include, but not limited to:

  • Heat mitigation
    To mitigate the growing challenge of excessive heat by focusing on reducing temperatures and/or adaptation solutions to help societies, especially vulnerable populations, withstand and adapt to the adverse effects of rising temperatures and more frequent heatwaves (e.g., climate-smart and climate-resilient food & agriculture, advanced materials for cooling – nano-coatings and film).
  • Nature-based solutions
    For building climate resilient societies for at-risk groups through replicable and viable models that deliver impact for planet, people, and profit in the space of blue carbon (e.g., seaweed cultivation, mangrove restoration for coastal communities) and green carbon (e.g., bamboo cultivation, low-methane agriculture).

Winners of each track will walk away with grant funding of S$1 million

TLC welcomes all projects at or above Technology Readiness Level (TLR) 6 and has already achieved proof of concept. While teams may be based anywhere in the world, the proposed project must be applicable to Singapore or Southeast Asia (for nature-based solutions).
