Amazon to invest $3 million in nature-based projects in India

Amazon has allocated $15 million for investment in nature-based projects in Asia Pacific (APAC). The e-commerce giant has already announced an initial investment of $3 million in nature-based projects in India. In 2019, Amazon created a 100 million Right Now Climate Fund to support nature conservation and restoration projects that enhance climate resilience and biodiversity.

The company founded this program to reach net-zero carbon by 2040, which is 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement. With this fund, the company also wants to drive social and environmental benefits in the communities where it operates. The $15 million promised investment from the company in the APAC region is a part of that fund.
