Double Nature
We are people reversing climate change. We restore carbon dioxide from oceans and the atmosphere. We double nature by fostering systemic conditions for the regenerative economy.
People
Climate Cleanup Foundation is an independent entrepreneurial non-profit funded by members.
Together we pioneer systemic interventions to enable carbon returning on land, in oceans,
rocks and constructions.

Double Nature
We restore 1500 gigatons of CO2 by doubling nature
To contain the climate crisis we need to restore 1500 gigatons of CO2. This happens to be about what is already sucked up by all living plants and trees on earth today. So to restore 1500 gigatons, we need to double nature. We reverse climate change by developing Nature-based carbon dioxide restoration (which is how we define CDR) and we foster fundamental systemic conditions for entrepreneurial people, and all other life, to flourish in a regenerative society.
ONCRA
ONCRA is an Open Natural Carbon Removal Accounting framework, enabling removal and storage of carbon dioxide with nature-based solutions. Removal credits based on the ONCRA framework are for sale from removers and at onsets.org.
Regeneration
If doubling nature is the goal, Regeneration is the how. Regeneration is to put life at the center of every action and decision.
Construction Stored Carbon
ASN Bank and Climate Cleanup have created a financial metric for carbon storage in the built environment. The systemic goal is to enable investors to assess the amount of carbon projects store, so financials can account and invest towards 1500 gigaton of carbon dioxide returned from the atmosphere.
2040
2040 – Join The Regeneration is the unique uplifting documentary film by Damon Gameau. The documentary featuring Paul Hawken (Project Drawdown) and Kate Raworth (Doughnut Economics) integrates the ideas in Drawdown and Doughnut Economics, and provides actual images of the future we create.
Fostering fundamental conditions
We foster the fundamental conditions for the regenerative new nature economy. Natural Climate Solutions can provide over 30% of the solution to reverse climate change, but receive not even 3% of funding. We are closing this gap by creating the conditions for entrepeneurial people and organisations to flourish.
What we do
Pioneer
We do. RD&D are much needed for natural carbon returning, because potential is huge and largely untapped. We develop in practice as well as in our Natural Climate Solutions Lab.
Construction
Ocean | Land | Rock
Conditions
We foster the fundamental conditions for people to thrive in the new nature economy.
Imagination
We show the world what we want. We envision how beautiful the world will be in a new nature economy. We’re always fact-based: we show what can be done. And then we do.

Join the first Double Nature Summit
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 1500 gigatons of CO2? Ocean, land, rock and construction based carbon restoration will all have…
Launch ONCRA at the COP27 in Egypt
ONCRA is out in the world. We launched ONCRA live from COP27 with co-founders and removers, from Bamboologic, The Seaweed Company, Scave, Boer in Natuur and greenSand. Take a look at the recording of the launch on our You Tube Channel. Join the ecosystem at oncra.org, and buy regenerative removal credits at onsets.org.
Book launch: Dutch translation Regeneration, ending the climate crisis in one generation
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 de Zwijger. The book is available in your local book shop.
Join The 1500 Club
The 1500 Club supports our work. We are 1500 people taking responsibility for the removal the 1500 gigaton of extra CO2 in our atmosphere, using nature based solutions. The 1500 Club is by and for parents, entrepreneurs, investors, youth, decision makers and anyone else who wants to double nature and reverse climate change.
Partners
We work with a network of great entrepreneurial people and organisations. If you would like to join us, just drop us a line.
