At the end of June, the UN climate negotiations (SB62) took place in Bonn, Germany, bringing together delegates from across the globe to prepare for COP30 in Belém, Brazil (November 2025). Wietse Slob, trainer at the Clingendael Institute in The Hague and active with Climate Cleanup (that has an UNFCCC observer status), attended the talks…
We are so grateful to have hosted our 7th annual event in Amsterdam, celebrating Nature Based Solutions, this year specifically on carbon removal finance and policy. We had over 150 representatives, bringing together entrepreneurs, innovators, investors, and policymakers to explore how carbon finance can unlock the potential of CO₂ removal. We had a great keynote…
In just a few weeks, the Climate Cleanup CDR Conference will be held at Tolhuistuin, Amsterdam. Here, frontrunners of the CDR sector gather, including the provinces of North and South Holland, Utrecht and Gelderland. They support the already 6th Climate Cleanup Conference (if you count the Ambassador’s 1500 Club Launch and its first anniversary). As green carbon removal is increasingly…
Stichting Re/Generatie is organizing a Regeneration Week from April 26 to May 3 (during the May holiday) in Catalunya, Spain, and there are still a few spots left! You wake up to a symphony of birdsong and step outside to find yourself surrounded by rolling hills. Everywhere you look, the vibrant green of young medicinal herbs and plants catches…
Ballast Nedam Development and Climate Cleanup Foundation jointly open the internationalmarket for CO2 storage in construction and real estate projects. Ballast Nedam Development is taking the step as the first construction and development company to market CO2 storage in its housing projects, a historic moment for the real estate and construction sector. The company is…
The construction sector can be made regenerative with transitions in roughly three areas: energy, materials and social. On May 22 we gathered with about 80 frontrunners in the game to make the construction industry more regenerative. The main takeaways. For Day 1 of the Double Nature Summit, on Constructions, we partnered with Gideon Building Transition…
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…
June 26 the Solar Butterfly has visited climate and nature pioneers in the Netherlands. This amazing tiny house that looks like a butterfly is powered by solar and pulled by an electric car, has recently started a 4 years tour around the world, visiting 90 countries and looking for nutritious nectar at around 1000 pioneer projects….
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.

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.

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…
