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…

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…

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…

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…
