We estimate that if we smartly invest 200 billion euros ($235 billion) annually over the next 30 years in restoring the ‘Green Water’ level in nature by redirecting system incentives supported by the future coefficient, we can stabilize our climate and cool down the global temperature. Note that these are not single costs but investments, which also yield returns.
For realizing the recovery of the Earth’s cooling capacity, we have currently identified the following worldwide investment milestones. Which, assuming the most positive scenario at the moment, is a relatively small amount compared to the assets at risk, even pennies compared to the worst case that our entire society is at stake.
Research assessment, authentication, open source knowledge platform, planning & coordination of ‘Green Water Cools’ insights.

The Earth cools itself through the evaporation of water and reflects sunlight through the formation of clouds.
In this process we distinguish between ‘Green’ and ‘Blue’ water. The physical characteristics of ‘Green’ and ‘Blue’ water are exactly the same, the colors refer to the different processes in which the water is used.
‘Green Water’ is water that is released into the atmosphere by trees and plants through their leaves, this is called evapotranspiration (like we humans sweat) and is an active process by living nature.
Evaporation of water directly by the sun where no living nature is involved, we call ‘Blue Water’ and is a passive process, we simply call this evaporation.
This definition is partly inspired by the definition of Green and Blue water definition by Garrison Sposito.
