Global Initatives

There are biological carbon sequestration programs all over the globe. These are massive initiatives working at a large scale. Here’s a few we’re following.

The 1 Trillion Trees Initiative
Conserving, restoring and growing a trillion trees by 2030 for people, biodiversity and planet.

United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration
From 2021 - 2030 a UN Resolution and broad-based global movement to ramp up restoration and put the world on track for a sustainable future.

India Planted 50 Million Trees in 24 hours
Part of a $6 billion commitment to reforest India, the country planted nearly 50 million trees in under 24 hours. Suddenly, India's goal of reducing pollution and reforesting 12% of the country doesn't look nearly as far-fetched.

One Tree Planted
This has been a resource for us while prototyping. For $1/tree can plant trees in a variety of global projects. A quick way to plant some trees today!

NASA Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO-3)
Detecting Atmospheric Carbon levels from space. Useful for determining concentrations of CO2, for example if CO2 concentrations are higher near urban areas.

The Lego-like way to get CO2 out of the atmosphere
Graphyte, a new company incubated by Bill Gates’s investment group Breakthrough Energy Ventures, announced that it has created a method for turning bits of wood chips and rice hulls into low-cost, dehydrated chunks of plant matter. Those blocks of carbon-laden plant matter — which look a bit like shoe-box sized Lego blocks — can then be buried deep underground for hundreds of years.
