The Mohn Westlake Foundation is proud to support Icebreaker One, an independent, non-partisan non-profit, aiming to create a web of net-zero data to better inform net-zero decisions.

Access to most of the world’s data is restricted, which makes it hard to direct investment and action towards net zero. This is why Icebreaker One is on a mission to connect net zero data – including financial, industry and environmental data – to fuel better decision making in the pursuit of net zero.

Icebreaker One is achieving this aim by creating policies and guardrails that ensure data is comparable, machine-readable and trusted – connecting rather than collecting data. The organisation is also building Open Energy, a service that makes it easy to search, access, and securely share energy data.

Icebreaker One’s expert teams have also developed the use case of a Climate-Ready Building Passport to explore how a data standard could catalyse net zero across the insurance and built world.

The Mohn Westlake Foundation’s funding will help move Icebreaker One closer towards its goal of building a web of connected net-zero data, that will in turn make it possible to accurately align operational and investment decisions with net zero.
