<p>Cascade is a philanthropy-backed nonprofit helping mobilize a more comprehensive response to the climate crisis by advancing high-potential solutions that remain on the margins of mainstream climate action. We do this by leading ambitious initiatives spanning markets, policy and science to overcome the biggest bottlenecks to progress.</p><p>The climate crisis has outpaced our response. While the world has rightly focused on rapid decarbonization in trying to limit warming to 1.5°C, we are already crossing that threshold. Earlier versions of our climate strategy are no longer sufficient in scope. We need dramatically expanded efforts on near-term warming mitigation, large-scale durable carbon removal for climate restoration, and measures to avoid triggering irreversible tipping points.</p><p>Previously neglected approaches—from natural system climate interventions to super pollutant mitigation and more—must now be seriously pursued alongside urgent decarbonization. Many promising solutions remain sidelined not because they lack potential, but because they haven't gotten the push needed to overcome adoption bottlenecks. We founded Cascade to provide that push, accelerating high-potential solutions and catalyzing a full-spectrum response that matches the scale and urgency of the climate crisis.</p><p>Cascade’s initial focus has been advancing the development of Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) as a promising climate-smart agriculture and carbon removal solution, underpinned by its scientific evidence base and its potential for gigaton-scale, durable carbon dioxide removal.&nbsp;</p><p></p>
