One Climate
What we do
One Climate connects people around the world to community action on climate change through sustainable energy.
Climate change is a global threat that can only be solved in international joint action. To face this challenge we as citizens from Africa, Asia and Europe launched a new international initiative: the `1 Climate International Cooperative U.A.´ with seat in the Netherlands in June 2021.
Our common goal is to achieve climate neutrality and alleviate energy poverty relating to the number of members in that cooperative by 2035.
Our projects create jobs and liberate people from energy poverty in the areas most affected by climate change. Participating citizens receive the invested amounts with interest back. Our projects are proof that the fight against climate change is possible for everyone. Regardless of the amount of their income.
To this end, we want to provide a platform that distributes the sums invested fairly between rich and poor countries in order to act against climate change to save the planet for future generations.
Our vision is a world in which 1% of global economic output is invested.
Where politics does not act fast enough, we want to break new ground - so far in The Netherlands, Germany, Rwanda and South Africa. Our journey has already begun.
