HOW DOES THE 1%-PRINCIPLE WORK?
HOW DOES THE 1%-PRINCIPLE WORK ?
Our approach

People driven Community
- People from different countries and continents gather in a global climate community. A community as an entrepreneurial backbone for all activities
based on a participative and democratic structure: the One Climate World Cooperative. - The members of this cooperative invest annually 1% of their respective income. Everybody can invest following their own economical situation. Every amount counts.
Renewable Energy
- The cooperative invests the joint capital of all members in renewable energy worldwide.
- We ensure that 45% of investments flow to the Global North and 55% to the Global South — fostering fair and balanced investment.
- Wind and solar energy in the global North.
- Solar-powered irrigation, heating, and electricity solutions in the Global South.
Climate Justice
The ecological return of our activities is the acceleration of the global shift to clean energy systems and the reduction of CO₂ emissions.
The social return is expanded access to clean energy in the Global South — a cornerstone of climate justice, driving multiple improvements in livelihoods.
The economic return originates from all our energy investments, with an expected dividend of 3% to 6% for members.
WHAT IMPACT DOES MY INVESTMENT HAVE?
- Solar irrigation systems in Rwanda
that increase yields. - Wind power stations in Germany and
Netherlands that provide clean energy. - Solar power systems in South Africa that supply schools with electricity.
This is creating real and sustainable change around the world.
Dadurch entstehen echte und nachhaltige Veränderungen weltweit.
Important Information: Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of your contribution. Please invest only what you can afford to lose.
Members’ contributions are invested in:
– the early-stage growth of our young cooperative, and
– renewable energy projects in Rwanda, South Africa, and Europe.
The goal of the cooperative is long-term investment in renewable energy along a climate-just path. During this period, a significant portion of members’ capital is “tied up” in these renewable energy projects.
Throughout this time, your money is subject to the same risks faced by One Climate World. This means you may not recover your investment in full — or at all.
Please only invest money you can afford to lose.
One Climate World is built for people who believe in creating a fair, climate-just future.
If your primary goal is making a profit, our community may not be the right fit for you.
