CARBON180

Overview

Carbon180 works to limit climate change by facilitating a broad portfolio of carbon removal approaches through policy advocacy, business engagement and innovation support. Launched in 2015, their initial goal was to raise awareness of carbon removal solutions to a wider network of policy makers but they have now developed programmes to support carbon technology entrepreneurs with fellowships and make carbon removal a major factor within US federal climate action.

Their impact to date has been such that they have moved their offices to Washington DC, thereby positioning themselves at the heart of policy making and this has aided them in investment of resources in US congressional action. They continue to expand their work moving forward with an Environmental Justice Initiative allowing environmental justice, labour, and NGO partners to develop and socialise novel carbon removal policies to build a broad coalition of carbon removal advocates.
