Our mission is to speed up negative emissions
At Carbon Drawdown Initiative our mission is to contribute to the creation and growth of the emerging carbon dioxide removal (CDR) industry. Since 2019 we are dedicated to supporting the people and companies working on CDR, helping them find their footing and thrive. We believe in a significant development potential for both the startups involved and for the planet. As the new industry moves forward, there will be meaningful opportunities for everyone involved in this effort. We invite you to join us in this important journey.
We do this via policy work, impact investments in CDR startups and hands-on scientific work focused on enhanced weathering. We are philanthropically funded by a foundation.
Let‘s counteract the ongoing doomsday messaging about climate change with a hopeful and optimistic approach. This will get people out of their annoyed stasis and into action!
