I believe Founders Pledge is working on a climate change fund with similar objectives to be launched later this year. Their current recommendations are here. There’s also ClimateWorks.
Yes we are, though not necessarily with a portfolio approach in the sense described above.
I think it is worth asking whether the EA community should pursue a portfolio approach to climate. Overall, EA funding levels of climate orgs are still quite low and one could make the argument that we should focus on funding the most effective organizations first before designing a broad portfolio, the latter seems more a task for a potential future where EA aligned donors are influencing a larger amount of climate funding.
That being said, we are looking at a broader portfolio of options and will certainly feature some diversity in the Climate Fund. But it will unlikely be distributed across all intervention areas since some seem much more effective than others.
