Project Overview

Cooling the Climate is a large-scale strategic plan that aims to restore the Amazon rainforest ecosystems and help stabilize the climate. By rethinking our relationship with nature and acting now, our plan will reverse climate chaos and build a future based on respect for the Earth. The plan begins by regenerating the Amazon rainforest, an ecosystem vital to our planet’s health.

Our Pilot Project

We can best address the threats to the Amazon rainforest by working with indigenous communities.

Our pilot project in Araribóia, Brazil, empowers the indigenous Guajajara people to regenerate their territory, which has been severely degraded by fire, logging, and land invasion. Supported by Indigenous leadership, cutting-edge technology, and innovative financing, our project not only restores the forest by planting 16 million trees on 8,000 hectares but lifts 15,000 people out of poverty through direct employment.

The Funding Model

Reforestation will generate global economic transformation.

Our digital finance model channels large-scale investments into the Amazon rainforest by leveraging innovative financial instruments and technology tools, a REDD+ framework, and community-driven ecosystem protection.

The initiative plan demonstrates how reforestation and climate action financing can generate environmental and economic transformation and produces a replicable model for deforested territories in the Global South next in line.

Support Us

We call on world leaders, corporate leaders, and philanthropists to commit resources to this urgent, large-scale project. With your support, we will make real progress in restoring the rainforests, Earth’s most essential natural cooling system.
