With annual greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 4.2 gigatons in India and carbon credits valued at $100 each, Salem-based Mother Netzero (Mothers Of Tamil Heritage Empowering Rural Nations Ecologically Through Zero Emissions Rising Out of Salem's (Asia's 1st district) ancient civilization, Siddhar wisdom, Steel, Silver, Silk, Sago, Aluminum, Alchemy, Limestone, Electricity, Ellampillai, Mango, Millets, Metturdam, and Manganese legacy) conquers a formidable market worth $420 billion.
As the global climate crisis reaches critical thresholds, Mother Netzero mobilizes rural Indian women to spearhead transformative climate initiatives while revolutionizing India's carbon market.
“When we empower a mother, we empower a planet. Mother India Netzero isn't just a climate initiative, it's a revolution where women's traditional nurturing transforms into environmental healing, and closing 30 percent (7.2 gigaton) of global mitigation gap by 2040. Through these mothers' solutions, we address 1100 gigatons of historical carbon emissions, working to return our atmosphere from 426 ppm to pre-industrial 280 ppm, proving that hands that cradle our children can also restore Earth's balance”, declares Vembaneri Valli, Founder, Mother Netzero.
Environmental Crisis & Opportunity
Alarming projections reveal catastrophic 24 gigaton carbon mitigation gap and staggering $2.4 trillion climate finance abyss. In rural India, impacts manifest with devastating severity.
Villages report perilous water contamination at 2900 TDS despite no industrial presence, with profound health implications including reports that 20 percent women underwent uterus removal due to environmental factors. From Bangalore city, waterways, including Nandi Hills and Vrishabawathi River (tributary of Arkavarthi, which is a tributary of River Cauvery), causes pollution in Mettur Dam and Salem River’s Thirumanimutharu, Tamil Nadu. This contaminated waterways, along with the poisoned Thenpennai river, end up in Chennai and Pondicherry with MSW waste, biomedical waste and open incineration including cyanide and heavy metals acidification, threatening Bay of Bengal, Vembaneri and Tamil Nadu agricultural land food security.
“Global leaders, here's our solution. We don't have time, it's global boiling era, mothers are ready to save Earth”, declares Vembaneri.
Mother Net Zero tackles hunger, violence against women and children, health issues, mental wellness, climate displacement through comprehensive food security systems, women's empowerment programs, green skills development, behavioral health initiatives, and climate resilience building. Our approach addresses five global challenges through targeted solutions implemented via five key initiatives, namely Uyarthiru Ullavan (farming), Odi Vilayadhu Papa (sports), Village Wonder Women (greenskills), Thangatharagai (waste), Arasun Energy (solar).
MOTHERS RISE Framework
Powered by MOTHERS RISE framework, which fuses ancestral wisdom with climate science, the model enables rural families to generate over 20 carbon credits annually, each worth $2,000. Through advanced solar irrigation and biochar equipment, the empowered farmer program helps families cut 20 MT carbons annually, increase yields by 30– 40 percent, conserve 40 percent water, and revive traditional millet cultivation.
“When our children play on soil they're learning to protect, they grow roots in future”, explains the program director of the rural Olympics program.
Global Leadership & Business Verticals
MOTHERS RISE framework anchors India's COP30 and COP33 initiatives, establishing global benchmark for climate action through maternal empowerment. Mother Netzero operates through Carbon Credit Platform, Climate Finance, Capacity Building, Climate Tech University, GCC Enablers, Climate Investment Bank, Climate Network & Media, Climate Events & Engagement, Sports Academy for Sustainability, Climate Innovation Lab.
Vision for Climate Action
Mother Netzero aims to mobilize 360 million mothers globally to drive grassroots climate solutions that address 30 percent of the world’s carbon gap by 2040. While India needs an estimated $13 trillion to reach net-zero by 2070 (BloombergNEF), Mother Netzero targets $2.5 trillion by August 15, 2040, 30 years ahead of the national goal. With an investment of ₹6 lakhs per family, it fosters sustainable green enterprises that deliver compounding returns and accelerate climate progress. This mission fast-tracks India’s Paris Agreement commitments with a bold net-zero target of 2040.
