Our planet is out of balance
Since 1880, our atmosphere has warmed by 1.1º C due to human activity.1 The consequences are already hazardous: record heat waves, intensified storms, droughts, and mass extinctions of plants and animals.
We must limit warming to 1.5ºC to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change — the first step toward rebalancing the planet.
Reducing emissions isn’t enough
According to the IPCC, there’s no pathway to holding global warming to 1.5°C by reducing emissions alone.2
All paths to a rebalanced planet require global-scale carbon removal technologies.
Even restoring Earth’s natural decarbonization systems won’t get us all the way there.
All three approaches are necessary
Every country, organization, and person must reduce their carbon emissions as much and as rapidly as possible. This is the most important step. No plan will be successful without dramatic emissions reductions.
Our planet has built-in systems to regulate the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. By restoring the balance of our oceans, forests, and landmass, we can rely on these natural systems to help bring the planet back to balance.
We’ll need engineered carbon removal projects like Direct Air Capture (DAC) alongside long-lived, durable sequestration solutions. We already have technology to do this, but we’ll need to scale it up quickly.
We provide seamless access to carbon credits
Carbon credits are powerful market-based tools to drive billions of dollars toward incentivizing the development and scaling of innovative climate projects, and flexible enough to evolve with the technology landscape.4
How carbon credits work
Patch completes the climate equation
All solutions are needed to stop and reverse climate change. Dramatic emissions reductions, measurement and accounting of emissions, and carbon removal projects are all necessary to maximize our collective opportunity to make a livable future inevitable.
Patch has joined forces with an ecosystem of over thirty partners and counting. For help measuring and accounting your emissions or for advice on decarbonization, take a look at our Partner Directory.
