Google.org wants ‚Äúto use the power of information and technology to address the global challenges of our age: climate change, poverty and emerging disease. In collaboration with experienced partners working in each of these fields, we will invest our resources and tap the strength of Google‚Äôs employees and global operations to advance five major initiatives.”
Theses five initiatives are to develop renewable energy cheaper than coal, accelerate the commercialization of plug-in vehicles, predict and prevent emerging threats, inform and empower to improve public services and to fuel the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises.
Sounds all good, especially because the director is Dr. Larry Brilliant who just happened to be the 2006 TEDPrize winner who was approached by both of Google’s founders after they heard his passionate speech at TED. More here.
