While much of the world was focused elsewhere on November 5, 2024, a major milestone in climate restoration quietly took place—the Climate Restoration Resolution was officially introduced in the U.S. Congress.

In this post, Peter Fiekowsky highlights this critical step toward institutionalizing climate restoration as a global priority. Unlike traditional climate policies that focus on slowing emissions, the Climate Restoration Resolution sets an ambitious goal: returning atmospheric CO₂ to safe pre-industrial levels by 2050. This is a shift from merely mitigating damage to actively restoring the climate for future generations.

Key Takeaways:

• The Climate Restoration Resolution was introduced in Congress, marking a historic moment for the movement.
• This resolution is unique in that it goes beyond net zero—it establishes the need to remove excess CO₂ and restore the climate to safe levels.
• The resolution supports large-scale climate restoration solutions like ocean iron fertilization (OIF), direct air capture, and ecosystem regeneration.
• To truly restore the climate, we must move beyond incremental progress and implement high-impact, science-backed interventions.

At the Climate Restoration Alliance (CRA), we are committed to turning this vision into reality. The Climate Restoration Resolution is a key step in securing governmental and institutional support for the large-scale deployment of CO₂ removal solutions. Our mission is to ensure that climate restoration becomes an actionable, funded global priority—because the world cannot afford to wait.
