Q4Climate is an initiative bringing together research and industry communities to explore how quantum science and technology can contribute to addressing climate change. It focuses on the intersection of quantum and climate sciences, where emerging quantum approaches may support work on climate mitigation, adaptation, and prediction. The initiative aims to identify promising research opportunities, develop practical solutions with scientific rigor, and establish measures for tracking progress and impact.

Q4Climate’s work includes reviewing research, identifying key sectors and priorities, convening experts, and preparing reports or scientific papers. Its stated workflow moves from defining objectives and building a team to focused research, workshops, and report writing. The initiative has also shared a preliminary assessment and described plans for a workshop in Canada as part of its project activities.

Q4Climate is led by executive members with backgrounds in quantum research and technology, alongside an advisory board that includes expertise from academia and industry.
