Net Zero is not enough. That is the starting point for a growing number of organizations that are shifting the climate conversation from damage limitation to actual restoration. The Climate Restoration Alliance is one of them. Now, I AM HUMANITY is standing alongside.
In February 2026, I AM HUMANITY Executive Director Susan Hoskins signed a formal Climate Restoration Resolution committing the organization to support the goal of reducing atmospheric CO2 to pre-industrial levels, at or below 300 ppm, by 2050.
The resolution is grounded in a straightforward reality: humans have never lived long-term with CO2 above 300 ppm. Today we are at 425 ppm and rising. Under current Paris Agreement trajectories, we are headed toward 450 ppm or higher by mid-century, a level the IPCC associates with grave damage to ecosystems. Cutting emissions slows the climb, but it does not reverse it.
I AM HUMANITY’s vision centers on the flourishing of humanity and life on Earth for millennia to come. Climate restoration is central to that vision. As the resolution notes, there is no climate justice without climate restoration, because the communities with the least resources bear the earliest and heaviest costs of a destabilized climate.
By signing, I AM HUMANITY joins the Climate Restoration Alliance’s call on global leadership to adopt “Restore and Stabilize Greenhouse Gas Levels” as the common climate goal, and commits to inviting others to stand with that mission.
Partnerships like this are how a goal moves from aspiration to agenda. We are glad to have I AM HUMANITY with us.
