Together, we can solve the climate crisis.
Our optimism is fueled by groundbreaking science, the power of community-led action, and the game-changing potential of climate philanthropy across One Earth's three pillars of action.
ENERGY TRANSITION
A just transition to 100% renewable energy can be achieved today with widely available technologies, and it will result in a system that is far less expensive than business as usual, creating millions of good long-term jobs, avoiding billions in annual fossil fuel costs, and preventing trillions in climate damages. The energy transition is already underway, but we need to triple investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy deployment and phase out fossil fuel subsidies by 2025.
NATURE CONSERVATION
In order to reverse the biodiversity crisis and stabilize the Earth’s climate system, we must protect and conserve 50% of the world’s lands and seas. Remaining land habitats store nearly 2 trillion tonnes of carbon and absorb one-quarter of annual CO2 emissions. Expanding Indigenous land rights is essential, alongside a moratorium on deforestation and a global effort to restore 350 million hectares of forests on degraded land, providing the necessary carbon removal to achieve the 1.5°C goal.
REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE
Through regenerative agricultural practices, which increase both soil fertility and carbon storage, we can achieve net zero food systems and fibersheds globally. Concurrently, we must cut meat consumption and food loss in half, reduce the use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides, diversify crops, and invest in smallholder farms. By doing so, we can feed ten billion people by mid-century while greatly reducing agricultural emissions – carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide -- and improving human nutrition.

We help donors and changemakers scale their collective impact.
It’s time to radically increase climate philanthropy. Less than 2% of all charitable giving goes to nonprofits working to solve the twin crises of biodiversity loss and climate change. One Earth is working with an array of partners to triple the volume of giving, driving dollars to critically underfunded projects on every continent. Through our Project Marketplace, individuals and companies can directly support vetted climate solutions, helping to create a world where people and nature thrive together.
Our unique approach: Philanthro-activism
We believe that everyone, everywhere can be a climate philanthropist. Whether you are a volunteer, a small-dollar donor, or a major benefactor, we all have a key role to play to push for solutions that can be implemented today, supporting individuals and communities working on the frontlines of the climate crisis. Through One Earth’s three programs — Science & Policy, Media & Advocacy, and On-the-ground Action — we directly support the climate heroes who are driving change where it’s needed most.

Let's join forces!
One Earth is building a powerful network of nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, and donors from around the world who all share the same goal – to radically scale climate action in order to achieve the ambitious goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C. Our scientific framework shows that it’s possible, but we have a lot of work to do to connect the necessary philanthropic capital to impactful climate solutions that can be implemented today. We would love to hear from you!
