Removing Carbon with Integrity.
Restoring Europe’s Forests. Empowering Communities.
The A2T Foundation enables and accelerates high-integrity, community-led nature restoration across Europe – ensuring that carbon removal, biodiversity recovery, and local livelihoods advance together.
What We Do?
We work with under-served and climate-vulnerable communities across Europe to restore their forests at scale. By combining ecological knowledge, community stewardship, and state-of-the-art digital monitoring, we unlock long-term, verifiable carbon removal.
Our mission is to ensure that nature-based carbon removal is fair, transparent, and accessible – especially to the communities doing the hard work on the ground.
How It Works?
Identify idle and degraded land
We find land that is not needed for agriculture, housing, or industry and is suitable for ecological restoration.
Support communities to restore forests
Local cooperatives, family landholders, and municipalities receive guidance, and long-term ecological support.
Measure and verify carbon removal
Using satellite data, LiDAR, AI biomass modelling, and on-site ecological surveys, our forests are verified under upcoming EU carbon-removal standards.
Channel funding to those who restore nature
Funding from donors, philanthropies, and climate-committed organizations directly supports forest creation and long-term stewardship.
Why Europe? Why Now?
Europe has millions of hectares of idle and degraded land. At the same time, the continent faces unprecedented climate risks:
- Biodiversity collapse
- Droughts and floods
- Increasing carbon-removal needs under the EU Green Deal
The A2T Foundation exists to deliver scalable, high-integrity solutions that match the urgency of the moment.

About us
Our Purpose
The A2T Foundation is the non-profit arm of AirToTree. We ensure that restoration benefits flow first to local communities while delivering high-quality, transparent carbon removal aligned with the EU Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF).
We focus on:
- Reforestation & afforestation
- Biodiversity restoration
- Community empowerment
- High-integrity measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV)
- Ensuring long-term permanence and stewardship
Our Guiding Principles
Integrity First
Every project must be real, additional, permanent, and scientifically verifiable.
Community-Centered
Local people are the stewards of Europe’s landscapes. They must benefit directly from restoration.
Transparency & Trust
We use open ecological baselines, remote sensing data, and auditable processes.
Collaboration Over Competition
We partner with landholders, scientists, municipalities, universities, and corporates.
Long-Term Permanence
Forest creation is a 40–100 year commitment, and so are we.
Our Team
The A2T Foundation works alongside the team of AirToTree B.V., including experts in MRV, governance, ecology, remote sensing, legal structuring, and technology.
Governance is anchored in Dutch law and the foundation operates with strong oversight, auditability, and alignment with A2T Foundation’s formal incorporation structure.
The Foundation’s articles detail governance, powers, fiduciary duties, and board representation frameworks.
