MEET CLIMATE VAULT
Hi, We're Climate Vault, a diverse collective of dreamers and doers who share a mighty commitment to a healthier, more sustainable tomorrow. Incubated at the University of Chicago, we exist to rapidly accelerate Carbon Zero as a reality. We are unapologetically audacious in our vision: a smarter, simpler, scalable, and more cost-effective way to keep the planet healthy and thriving.
Founded by Michael Greenstone, one of the world's foremost luminaries on environmental policy, a University of Chicago economics professor, the Chief Economist for President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, and featured on NPR and in The Wall Street Journal, Climate Vault takes a laser-focused, innovative and verifiable approach to not only reducing but ultimately removing carbon emissions from the atmosphere.
We're building the world's first large-scale ecosystem linking offsets, carbon markets, and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies. In other words, Climate Vault is making an immediate impact at scale and catalyzing the market for elusive, but essential CDR solutions that will be necessary to sustain a vibrant planet for future generations. This is an unprecedented and transformational change.
In our first year, with some extraordinary partners, we are doing big things. Big things like working with Gemini on an initiative to decarbonize Bitcoin. Big things like helping Vanderbilt University to achieve its Carbon Zero goals decades ahead of schedule. We're just getting started and we are obsessed with making the promise of Carbon Zero accessible to all. But we can't do it without YOU! Want in? Learn more and join our movement at ClimateVault.org.
