Our Vision
Climate change is already affecting our lives—bringing stronger storms, rising seas, and unpredictable seasons. It’s a long-term shift in our planet’s climate, warming the air, land, and oceans, and reshaping the world we call home. It occurs because of increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which unequivocally trap heat inside our atmosphere. There is growing concern if global temperature rises to 2°C above the pre-industrial level, the impacts of climate change will become irreversible and catastrophic, making it harder to safeguard our communities, nature, and future generations.
To restore climate balance, we must remove 10 billion tons of CO₂ annually by 2050. But beyond the data, this is really about reimagining how we live, create, and connect with the planet.
At Atierra, we harness microalgae to remove CO₂ & transform it into climate-positive materials—starting with natural pigments for everyday products, like inks, cosmetics, and more! Our pilot Air-to-Art project transforms emissions into beautiful, tangible art pieces that store carbon and spark conversations. It’s about making climate action feel accessible, even joyful. Our vision is to build a regenerative economy by embedding climate solutions into the things we already use and love—bringing together cities, creatives, and communities to turn pollution into possibility.
Join us today to shape a thriving planet for future generations!
