Decarbonize Our Beautiful Planet
For All of Us
To go all the way to deep decarbonization, we must reconsider how we produce and use energy, as well as make a substantial shift to renewable and low-carbon energy sources.
In essence, achieving zero net emissions entails adopting clean energy technologies and moving away from fossil fuels to electricity.

About Our Foundation
Mission
To educate humanity about the global impact of black carbon emissions, its direct effect in causing the glaciers and polar ice sheets to melt and the resulting direct affect on climate change. To support innovative and sustainable solutions to directly reduce black carbon that protect our climate in the near and long term.
Vision
To create a better, more sustainable future, starting with cutting black carbon and its effects through innovative projects that meet and exceed UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Accord while providing a clearer focus towards slowing glacial and ice sheet melting.
What is Decarbonization?
Decarbonization refers to the process of reducing carbon intensity, thus lowering the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced by the burning of fossil fuels. The term decarbonization literally means the reduction of carbon. What is precisely meant by this, is the conversion to an economic system that sustainably reduces and compensates for the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO₂).
The Fight
This generally involves decreasing CO2 output per unit of electricity generated. Reducing the amount of carbon dioxide occurring as a result of transport and power generation is essential to meet global temperature standards set by the Paris Agreement and the UK government.
A low-carbon or decarbonized economy is one that is based on energy sources that produce minimal amounts of greenhouse gases. All members of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) signed the historic Paris Agreement in December 2015, which was endorsed by consensus.
In total, 197 nations have committed to decreasing fossil fuel use and CO2 emissions gradually over a 50-year period in order to reach net carbon neutrality by 2050 and keep global warming below 2°C by the year 2100.
The ultimate (and hopeful) aim of decarbonization is to completely eliminate our carbon dioxide emissions.
