The world’s current goal for climate—net-zero emissions by 2050—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.
We are committed to doing it again by 2050.
For our climate to be safe by 2050, we need to scale up climate-restoration solutions NOW, by 2030.

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

Yes, we need to move to clean energy with all haste, but…
We also need
to remove a 1 trillion tons of CO2 that’s already in the atmosphere. Otherwise climate chaos will continue to get deadlier, with or without net-zero emissions.
We also need to—and will—restore safe methane levels.

Many assume it can’t be done.
But this amount of CO2 has been removed by Mother Nature many times over millennia.
Can we remove a trillion tons of CO2 by 2050, while the sensitive balance of Earth systems are still reasonably intact?

We can if we act now
and focus on replicating natural CO2 and methane removal processes.

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

Our Mission
Our Mission
Leaders commit our governments to restoring a safe climate for our children, and fund scientists to understand how to do that while we still can
Funding sources and objective evaluation criteria for the solutions that accelerate Nature’s CO2 and methane removal methods are developed
