The Challenge
Forests store approximately 714 gigatonnes of carbon and are home to more land-based species than any other ecosystem on Earth. Yet deforestation continues at 10.9 million hectares per year, and the voluntary carbon market faces persistent challenges of credibility and standardisation that limit capital flows to where they are most needed.
We work with leading forestry organisations to develop incentivisation models and financing structures that make forest conservation and regrowth financially appealing to private investors.
Helping clients navigate voluntary and compliance carbon markets, assessing credit quality, market access, price risk, and registry requirements for forestry-based carbon projects.
Developing incentivisation models and blended finance fund structures that make forest conservation financially attractive to institutional investors.
Collaborating with leading forestry organisations and innovation-focused partners to improve carbon market structure, standardisation, and the policy environment for forest finance.
Multi-tranche blended finance funds combining public, philanthropic, and commercial capital to finance large-scale reforestation and conservation projects.
Structuring access to voluntary carbon markets for forestry projects, ensuring credit quality, buyer agreements, and registry compliance for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) and Afforestation, Reforestation and Revegetation methodologies.
Debt instruments linked to forest conservation outcomes, providing upfront capital for forest protection in exchange for verified carbon and biodiversity credits.
Results-based payment structures for REDD+ programmes, channelling climate finance to developing nations in return for verified emissions reductions from forests.
