One Earth is a nonprofit organization working to accelerate collective action to solve the climate crisis through groundbreaking science, inspiring media, and an innovative approach to climate philanthropy. The solutions for the climate crisis already exist, and the latest science, spearheaded by One Earth, shows we can achieve the 1.5°C goal through three pillars of action: - Energy Transition: a just transition to 100% renewable energy. - Nature Conservation: protection and restoration of half of the world’s lands and oceans. - Regenerative Agriculture: a shift to net-zero food systems and fibersheds. To achieve this goal, we must rapidly scale climate philanthropy to meet critical funding gaps over the coming decade.
