Media Advisory: Climate Restoration Press Conference at COP25

MADRID, Dec. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- At COP25, Peter Fiekowsky, Founder and Chairman of the Foundation for Climate Restoration (F4CR) and Peter Wadhams, Professor Emeritus at the University of Cambridge, will present the solutions and technologies available today to restore the climate to pre-industrial levels and ensure a safe, habitable planet for future generations.

Climate restoration is the global movement to bring atmospheric CO₂ down to proven safe levels of less than 300 parts per million (ppm) and ensure sufficient Arctic ice to prevent permafrost melt and the resulting disastrous methane emissions. Climate restoration complements mitigation and adaptation, and is an essential component in the global conversation and fight against climate change.

This press conference will give tangible solutions on how we can safely restore a healthy climate.
