What Is Climate Restoration & Why Should We Do It?

By: George C. Keefe

​The year is 2024, and we stand at a pivotal crossroads in human history.

While many talk about reducing emissions, a bold and crucial mission has emerged: climate restoration.

This isn't just about slowing down climate change – it's about actively rebuilding the safe climate our grandparents knew and ensuring our children inherit a thriving planet.

Think about it: every generation before us enjoyed a climate that supported human civilization.

Yet today, our children face an uncertain future with rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and destabilized ecosystems.

This is where climate restoration enters the picture, offering hope beyond mere sustainability.

But what exactly is climate restoration and can it save humanity's future?

At its core, it's an ambitious yet necessary goal to return our atmosphere to the safe CO2 levels that supported human flourishing for millennia.

This isn't just about reaching net-zero emissions – it's about actively removing one trillion tons of CO2 from our atmosphere by 2050.

That's 1,000,000,000,000 tons of excess carbon dioxide that needs to be cleared away to restore our climate's natural balance.

The scale of this challenge might seem overwhelming, but here's the encouraging truth: nature has already proven it's possible.

Throughout Earth's history, natural processes have regulated atmospheric CO2 levels.

Now, it's our turn to accelerate these processes and work alongside nature to restore balance.

At Restore The Climate (RTC), we understand that 2050's net-zero emissions target, while important, isn't enough to secure a safe future.

That's why we're committed to a more ambitious goal: actual climate restoration by 2050.

This means not just stopping the damage but reversing it while our ecosystems, climate systems, and societal frameworks are still intact enough to support such a transformation.

The window for action is narrow but still open.

To achieve climate restoration by 2050, we must scale up solutions dramatically by 2030.

This involves developing and implementing various carbon removal technologies, enhancing natural carbon sinks, and fostering innovation in climate restoration methods.

RTC is leading this charge with determination and hope.

We're not just dreaming of a better future – we're actively working to create it.

Our commitment to climate restoration goes beyond conventional environmental goals, focusing on returning our planet to the proven-safe conditions that supported human civilization for thousands of years.

The task ahead is monumental, but the alternative – leaving our children with an increasingly hostile climate – is unacceptable.

Through climate restoration, we can give future generations the same gift of a stable climate that our ancestors gave us.

This isn't just about environmental conservation; it's about preserving human civilization and the countless species we share this planet with.

As we move forward, every year counts, every action matters, and every person can contribute to this vital mission.

Together, we can restore our climate to its natural, life-supporting state.

​The time for climate restoration is now, and RTC is committed to leading this crucial journey toward a safer, more sustainable future for all.
