Feeling thankful for the generosity of Carbon180’s supporters, who make our work possible — in a field that seemed impossible just a few years ago.

With Giving Tuesday coming next week, please consider giving to Carbon180. We have big plans for 2025 ➡️ bit.ly/4fKGmCG

Tomorrow is a big day for our fundraising efforts. We couldn’t build the policy + field needed for a carbon-removing future without the generosity of individual donors 🤗

We'd be honored to have your support on #GivingTuesday ⬇️

So, we're now looking at 1.9C warming by 2100 even in an optimistic scenario.

And, we're on track for a future where the world might need hundreds of Gt of CDR to claw our way back from a high overshoot. I'd like to avoid that please and thank you.
