On the final day of the Double Nature Summit – May 25 – we gathered in Amsterdam with entrepreneurs, scientists, philanthropists, policy makers, civil servants, funders, people with indigenous perspectives, NGOs, and civil society to weave all the insights together. We explored the idea of humanity as a keystone species in a stewarding role, equipping…
Do you want to make a positive difference to the future of people and our planet? Climate Cleanup is an independent nonprofit organization that realizes scalable nature-based climate solutions that store carbon with nature(tech). Because to reverse the current climate, nitrogen and biodiversity crisis, humanity needs to restore the carbon balance in the atmosphere and…
Investors, policy makers, companies and scientists present plan to restore CO2 balance May 25, the Double Nature Plan was presented at the Double Nature Summit in the Netherlands, a four-day event that has brought together a wide range of stakeholders. The plan sets out a number of actions for the sequestration of CO2 from the atmosphere by…
We would like to warmly invite you to the first four-day Double Nature Summit ever, organised from May 22nd to May 25th, with international partners, in the Netherlands and (partly) online. The summit is for pioneers, scientists, investors and policymakers or for those simply interested in these fields. The leading question is: how to regeneratively double nature to re-store…
We’re very happy and proud the conversation between Lynn Zebeda and Paul Hawken at Pakhuis de Zwijger in Amsterdam, is online on our channel. Together with publisher Lemniscaat and partners we presented the Dutch translation of the book Regeneration, ending the climate crisis in one generation: Regeneration, de klimaatcrisis opgelost in één generatie, October 1 in Pakhuis…
Thanks to our members we have been able to work on a lot of interventions during the year 2021 / 2022. Click and take a look at the summary.
Transforming biomass into biochar is a very old way of fertilizing the soil – as well as sequestering carbon dioxide. Biochar is a booming natural climate solution. Perpetual Next’s advisor and longtime cleantech investor Albert Fischer has been working on biochar for quite some time now. He will be joined by Dutch Carboneers Berend de Haas and…
Did you know that if we co-deploy reforestation, enhanced weathering of rocks and biochar, we might sequester up to 10 times more carbon per hectare? Wednesday 2nd of March, Future Forest Company founder Jim Mann joined us online to tell about all the ins and outs of Trees and Rocks (and even biochar and therefor mycelium). The…
Which natural climate solutions are scalable? And how can we accelerate? Wednesday September 1 we kick off a new series of Double Nature Talks live at Tolhuistuin with this most pressing question. How will we remove 1500 gigaton by doubling nature? Mimicking nature, we consider our systemic interventions as mycelium inoculating a growth medium. We…
ASN Bank with Climate Cleanup created a metric enabling the financial sector to account for construction stored carbon. This carbon removal metric enables financial institutions worldwide to measure the carbon stored in biobased buildings. In the Netherlands alone, this may add up to around 50 megaton carbon sequestered this decade. Take a look at the…
People in power have to change the world lots of people state often. Have you already seen Greta Thunberg’s speech, on July 2, 2021 at the Austrian World Summit? The role of government is often regarded as the most important one. The 49th Double Nature Talk of July 7 we gave the floor to civil servant…
When discussing climate change, the words tipping points are usually used to address physical phenomena. An international scientific team, led by Ilona Otto from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) shows that social tipping points also cause sudden and irreversible disruption of the status quo. Just like physical tipping points do. “Social tipping points are subdomains…
Bamboo is known as the fast growing wonder plant from Asia, but the plant does also flourish in Europe and even in the Netherlands. Joost Borneman and Brian Wennersten have devoted their lives to this multi-potent natural climate solution and were therefor asked to present their views and experiences June 23, 8 pm CEST at…
At the Double Nature Talk June 16, 8 pm CEST, Matthea De Jong – director Tolhuistuin – shared her vision on culture in the climate emergency and the role of hotspot Tolhuistuin in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where Climate Cleanup is also residing. Tolhuistuin used to be the offices of Shell. More than 10 years ago…
More and more scientists all over the world are doing research on all kinds of possibilities of CO2 removal by olivine and other minerals. We’ve organized on May 12, 1.30 PM – 17.30 PM CEST the second global conference to create an overview of the research and to bring the network together. An informal bespoke scientific…
Thanks everyone for joining our festive online masterclass on May 26 on scalable climate solutions like seaweed, soil, regenerative (agro)forestry, circulair biobased materials, ONCRA and enhanced weathering. Take a look at the recording on our YouTubeChannel. Happy we had Paul Hawken (Drawdown / Regeneration), Damon Gameau (filmmaker 2040 Join the Regeneration), Matthea de Jong
Not one single group can regenerate the planet on its own; we need to break down silos and collaborate across all kinds of networks to really reverse global warming this decade. How to organize this? How to connect self-organized swarms of people all around the globe? Could this connection create the conditions for climate action…
Join the Double Nature Talk of Sam Levac-Levey on Wednesday April 21, 8 pm CEST. Throughout his career Sam worked on rockets, drones, turbines, energy storage, and even electric flying cars – but he never imagined that a board game would be next. Sam created Solutions the game, a game of hope & action for…
The Double Nature Talk of psychologist and economist Per Espen Stoknes Wednesday April 7 will be soon published on our YouTubeChannel. Going beyond the usual pro-growth versus anti-growth debate, Stoknes calls for healthy growth. Stoknes shows that we already have the tools to achieve healthy growth, but our success depends on transformations in scaling innovations,…
Embodied beauty is what Interface calls its carpet tiles which store more CO2 than ever before. This global flooring company creates interior spaces with a positive impact on people and planet. How does Interface double nature and when is the company going to be climate positive? The recording of our online Double Nature Talk by…
Together with 50+ Dutch organizations, we’ve written a manifesto for regeneration of the soil in the Netherlands. It would be great if you would also sign this manifest. Take a look on the website of Aardpeer. 21 baby’s and their parents are asking for
PUR Projet is a worldwide pioneer in the development of insetting with nature based solutions. This breakthrough approach generates multiple benefits for a company and the ecosystems it depends on. It works to transform climate action from a niche activity to an industry standard. PUR project empowers local communities to operate long-term socio-environmental projects and helps companies strengthen their…
To reverse global warming, regenerate nature and to navigate more money to natural climate solutions, we continued working on ONCRA, to the benefit of the global common (for you). Take a look at the beta version of this tool based on the doughnut model of Kate Raworth and the global sustainable development goals. It shows…
Doubling Nature in the Netherlands is doable by combining more issues in the same time: the lack of housing, the lack of successors in farming, the loss of biodiversity, the excesses of nitrogen and CO2, the need to retain water and the need for nature in a very densely populated country. We’re delighted two Dutchmen…
