From Climate Week NYC to Carbon Removal Day: keep the climate action going
With Climate Week NYC 2024 wrapped-up, the momentum for climate action is far from over. The conversations and events of Climate Week have driven home the urgent need for scalable, impactful solutions to address the climate crisis. At Climeworks, we’re proud to be part of that effort, but we’re not stopping here. Today, we’re celebrating the first-ever Carbon Removal Day, marking another significant milestone for the carbon removal community.
What is Carbon Removal Day?
Carbon Removal Day, taking place for the first time today, October 3, 2024, is a new advocacy initiative designed to raise awareness on the crucial role carbon removal plays in achieving net-zero. This advocacy campaign was initiated by Jack Sullivan and Tito Jankowski, key contributors to the carbon removal community.
The goal of Carbon Removal Day is simple but powerful: make as many people as possible aware of the importance of carbon removal in addressing the climate crisis. It’s not just about cutting emissions anymore—it’s about removing the excess CO2 already in the atmosphere to address global warming and reach net-zero.
Scaling carbon removal to the levels required by climate science demands action from all fronts— large companies, investors, governments, but also individuals and small businesses. That’s why Carbon Removal Day calls on everyone to take part in this movement and push for the understanding and adoption of carbon removal technologies, such as Direct Air Capture (DAC), which Climeworks specializes in.
Climeworks Pioneers: leading the carbon removal movement
At Climeworks, we’ve seen firsthand how impactful community action can be. With close to 21,000 Climeworks Pioneers supporting our mission to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, our community continues to grow and expand the reach of carbon removal.
During Climate Week NYC, we wrapped up our referral contest, which helped introduce new members to the community. We’re grateful for the enthusiasm and support from everyone who participated. The growth of this community is a testament to the power of collective action.
And now, as we celebrate the first-ever Carbon Removal Day, it’s an ideal time to join this movement and take meaningful climate action.

Why carbon removal is essential for achieving net-zero
To meet global climate targets, we need to drastically reduce emissions, but that alone won’t be enough. As climate science indicates, we must also remove the CO2 that’s already in the atmosphere. This is where carbon removal technologies, like Climeworks’ Direct Air Capture (DAC), come in.
Unlike traditional carbon offsetting, carbon removal ensures that CO2 is captured directly from the air and stored permanently, preventing it from contributing to further global warming. While we need governments and large corporations to invest in and adopt these solutions at scale, individual actions matter, too.
By supporting carbon removal, individuals and small business owners can play an important role in:
Directly reducing atmospheric CO2: Subscribing to Climeworks’ carbon removal services means that your money goes to work directly on CO2 being captured and permanently stored.
Showing market demand: The collective action of small contributors subscribing to carbon removal services sends a strong signal to policymakers, investors, and corporations that there is a growing demand and support for these solutions.
