Our monthly Austin Sierra Club meeting will be online via Zoom.

We’ll start off with Announcements on current events… Tonite’s main program is Climate Restoration. Join Peter Fiekowsky, founder of the climate restoration movement, and his co-author, Carole Douglis, to hear how we can restore pre-industrial CO2 levels by 2050—by working with nature and with finance that’s already available.

Peter Fiekowsky, author of Climate Restoration: The Only Future That Will Sustain the Human Race (2022), is an MIT-educated physicist and Silicon Valley entrepreneur and philanthropist with 27 patents. He has 30 years’ experience as a citizen lobbyist for poverty and climate issues, and over the past decade has been working to build the organizations required to ensure the survival and flourishing of humanity.

Fiekowsky’s mission is to leave a world we’re proud of to our children. To that end he has founded a number of organizations including the Foundation for Climate Restoration, Methane Action, Stable Planet Alliance, which is working to restore a sustainable population, and the interim Climate Restoration Safety and Governance Board.

Carole Douglis, co-author of Climate Restoration: The Only Future That Will Sustain the Human Race, is an award-winning journalist specializing in environment, climate, and international development. Her work has been published by the Atlantic, Psychology Today, and National Geographic Books, as well as the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), UNICEF, USAID, NGOs, and research institutes. She enjoys sharing her skills through training others in clear writing and presentations. Carole holds a B.A. from Harvard University and an M.A. from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy—and is proud to be Peter Fiekowsky’s writing partner since 2019.
