The world’s current net-zero goal for
emissions is not enough.
To restore a safe climate, we need to remove one trillion tons of CO2 from the atmosphere
- 1,000,000,000,000 -
The good news is that Nature has done it before.
For our climate to be safe by 2050, we need to scale up climate-restoration solutions NOW.

Most people think…
…the global goal of net-zero emissions by 2050 will provide a safe climate. But it won’t. (Google it: you’ll be shocked.) Yes, we need to move to clean energy as soon as possible, but…

We also need…
…to remove a 1 trillion tons of CO2 that’s already in the atmosphere. Otherwise, extreme weather events will continue to get deadlier, with or without net-zero emissions.

Many assume it can’t be done.
However, verified research shows this amount of CO2 has been removed by Mother Nature many times over millennia.

We must act now…
…by focusing on carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods that are scalable and replicable - capable of removing gigatons of CO2 from the atmosphere.

Restore the Climate was created to lead the way to reclaiming a safe climate - with CO2 levels below 300 ppm - by 2050.
