Working to keep our Earth habitable.
The planet is in trouble, and the Climate Foundation is working tirelessly to find nature-based solutions to help our beloved Earth.
Our decade long project is based on the realisation that seaweed is one of the fastest growing plants on our planet, and it takes in more C02 than almost any other plant on Earth. Unfortunately, the tropical and subtropical oceans are becoming too warm to sustain seaweed, which means that the Earth could lose one of its highest exporters of Co2 and creators of oxygen. So we created Marine Permaculture which works by either bringing the cooler waters to the seaweed, or lowering the seaweed to the cooler water below. Besides helping seaweed grow, it has the wonderful side effects of creating habitat for marine creatures, creating income for ocean communities while also sequestering Co2.

SOLUTIONS for the Planet
Some of our previous solutions to help the planet are reversing coral bleaching, (yes, it can be done) marine permaculture, which restores ocean ecosystems while naturally sequestering massive amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere. In the past, we've found a way to address multiple challenges at once using biochar—sequestering CO2, enriching soil, and solving sewage problems simultaneously. Additionally, we're improving air quality in India through charvesting and exploring azolla as one of many promising solutions for reducing atmospheric CO2 levels.
