Epistemic status: Off-hand, not carefully thought-through comment
There aren’t a lot of hours of research going into “EA’s climate recommended charities, to the extent this is a thing. So for climate stuff there are a lot of specific orgs but on a meta-level large donors should probably chat with
Jonathan Foley at Project Drawdown (& heed Drawdown’s work but not their rankings which are widely acknowledged to be a marketing gimmick)
Climate Works
The Prime Coalition ($25 mm minimum as of 2020; investment fund but optimizing for impact iirc)
Breakthrough Energy Ventures (similar deal to Prime)
Probably also check out what the Gates Foundation is funding in this area.
And, be mindful that the space is changing so fast that recs from a year ago may no longer apply (which is a problem when so few people are looking into high-impact giving opportunities)

Personally, the Rainforest Trust seems good.
