Join our monthly Double Nature Talk featuring seaweed legend Brian von Herzen, who was recently awarded the $1M XPRIZE for his ground-breaking carbon removal project. We’re very curious to see how his Climate Foundation will be scaling up carbon removal using ocean-based solutions. Reef Ranger Amber Stapert is also joining to tell about restoring coral…
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…
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…
