Nature protection organizations (NPOs) worldwide are joining forces in the Union of Nature Foundation (UON) to accelerate nature protection. We bring a singular proposition to the world: the ‘uon’, a unique digital proof of protection of a sustainably protected geocoded unit of nature, registered in your name.
We aim to engage and empower the private sector to contribute directly to protecting 50% of the planet together with a solution that is accessible, accountable, and assured, to unlock an additional recurring revenue stream to NPOs doing the work on the ground.
Nature’s value is intrinsic and immeasurable, from carbon sequestration,a climate change resilience, and biodiversity, to its cultural significance and importance for our health.
A m² of nature is a simple, tangible, and relatable unit that reduces a global problem to the human scale.
For every €1.20 donation to protect a unit of nature, we issue a uon, a unique digital proof of protection of a sustainably protected geocoded unit of nature, registered in your name.
Every day, every person can make a difference by protecting nature and collecting uon. Meter x meter.
Our trust framework offers participating NPOs a groundbreaking international business collaboration in an operating model that is governed by a rulebook with predefined roles and responsibilities, and rights and obligations.
We operate not-for-profit.
We bring a singular collaborative proposition to the world: a sustainably protected geocoded unit of nature, with a uon as a digital proof of protection registered in your name.
Uon.Earth supports us with campaigning and platform services to empower companies, charities, and consumers to campaign for nature together.
We have committed ourselves to contribute to the 30×30 and 50×50 goals.
The participating NPOs receive revenues for each uon issued. In return, they contractually commit to bring a new unit of nature under protection, on a 1-for-1 basis. This is how we scale.
We are always on the lookout for new nature organizations to include. Have a look at our access criteria to see if your organization is eligible.
