Bauhaus Earth

In an ever warming world the need for action on the mitigation of climate change and climate restoration is overdue. To stay within the Paris Agreement guardrail of 2 °C above pre-industrial level of atmospheric CO2, the global economy and transport system must be decarbonized by 2050 at the latest. With the climate system more and more out of balance the need for additional carbon removal from the atmosphere will be inevitable. But how can this be done? One scalable solution is a transition of the building sector towards a sustainable bio-based construction economy. Based on the transdisciplinary idea of the Bauhaus movement in the early 20ies of the last century, the Bauhaus Earth was founded to bring their vision and ideals to live today with the climate crisis at its core. Key are climate-friendly materials, integrated planning and nature-based design. Sustainable forestry provides an extraordinary building material, which combined with today’s technology and innovation will transform cities into wooden human-made carbon sinks in order to restore the global climate, tenth by tenth of a degree Celsius.
