Forty turbines on the Zhambyl steppe form Central Asia's largest wind farm, cutting hundreds of thousands of tons of CO2 a year in a coal-dependent grid.

🇮🇸 Iceland · Climeworks

Swiss company sucking CO2 straight out of the air and turning it to stone beneath Iceland.

🇫🇮 Finland · Carbo Culture

Carbo Culture turns waste wood and agricultural biomass into stable biochar using its patented Carbolysis process, locking carbon away for over a thousand years.

🇳🇦 Namibia · Kelp Blue

Kelp Blue is cultivating vast offshore giant-kelp forests off Namibia's coast to lock carbon away in the deep ocean while rebuilding marine biodiversity.

🇪🇹 Ethiopia · World Vision Ethiopia

Farmers on Ethiopia's Mount Damota regrew a forest from old tree stumps and turned the carbon credits into grain mills, warehouses and floodproofing for their villages.

🌍 Global · Project Drawdown

The world's leading resource mapping the science-based solutions that can actually reverse global warming.

🇮🇩 Indonesia · PT Rimba Makmur Utama (Katingan Mentaya Project)

The Katingan Mentaya Project protects and rewets one of the world's largest tracts of tropical peat swamp forest in Borneo, keeping centuries of stored carbon out of the atmosphere.

🌍 Global · Sustainable Surf (SeaTrees)

SeaTrees, the flagship program of nonprofit Sustainable Surf, funds local partners around the world to plant and protect mangroves, kelp and seagrass meadows that store carbon far faster than land forests.

🇦🇪 United Arab Emirates · Emirates Nature-WWF

The UAE's first WWF affiliate is replanting the Northern Emirates' coastline with mangroves that store four times more carbon than tropical forest.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia · Saudi Green Initiative

A national government program is rehabilitating degraded desert land and planting trees at massive scale as part of Saudi Arabia's push to fight desertification and cut emissions.

🇫🇮 Finland · Snowchange Cooperative

🇰🇷 South Korea · Solutions for Our Climate (SFOC)

South Korea's leading climate advocacy group, using research, litigation, and campaigning to phase out fossil fuels and decarbonize Asia's heavy industry.

🇬🇧 United Kingdom · UNDO

UNDO spreads crushed volcanic basalt across farmland so rainfall reactions pull CO2 out of the atmosphere and lock it into stable carbonate minerals for millennia.

🇿🇲 Zambia · Emerging Cooking Solutions

Zambian households rent internet-connected stoves and buy waste-wood pellets instead of charcoal, cutting cooking costs and pressure on the country's shrinking woodlands.

🌍 Global · TIST

Farmer-led small-group network across East Africa and India that plants trees for carbon income and land restoration.

🇺🇸 United States · Charm Industrial

Charm Industrial converts leftover crop and forestry residue into bio-oil that gets injected deep underground, locking carbon away for thousands of years.

🇮🇸 Iceland · Carbfix

An Icelandic carbon capture technology dissolves CO2 in water and injects it into basalt rock, where it turns to stone within about two years.

🇳🇱 Netherlands · Urgenda Foundation

A Dutch foundation sued its own government over weak climate targets and won a landmark court order to cut emissions faster.

🇦🇺 Australia · ALFA (NT) Limited

Aboriginal-owned ALFA (NT) Limited pays Traditional Owners to burn Arnhem Land the old way, turning ancient fire knowledge into carbon credits that fund rangers and community programs.
