Climate Parks

CAPPS Climate Parks is a private foundation established in the summer of 2020 with a clear mission: to take swift, practical action in the fight against climate change through the creation of new, ecologically rich green spaces. The name CAPPS stands for Climate Action Plan & Park Systems, reflecting a methodical and scalable approach to restoring nature and enhancing biodiversity.

Primarily based in Belgium, CAPPS Climate Parks focuses on transforming underused or degraded land into vibrant ecosystems, forests, wetlands, shrub lands, and natural meadows with a strong emphasis on maximising natural CO₂ capture. Central to this approach is the WATERCATCH method, which supports soil moisture retention and landscape resilience, making long-term carbon storage more effective and sustainable.

While its roots are in Belgium, CAPPS sees expansion as essential. The foundation is actively exploring opportunities to scale its model to other regions where ecological restoration and climate action are urgently needed. With the goal of doubling the amount of forested and natural land, CAPPS Climate Parks is committed to delivering measurable, nature-based solutions that support climate stabilisation, biodiversity, and long-term ecosystem health.

Climate Parks Projects

Zutendaal -4Nature

On the edge of Hoge Kempen National Park, this 2-hectare project restores forest quality and biodiversity. By strengthening the park’s buffer zone, it creates healthier habitats, supports native species, and improves the resilience of surrounding ecosystems.

Improved Forest Management
