The Climate Trust

The Climate Trust works alongside landowners to implement climate solutions that enhance and conserve America's forests and grasslands. As a nonprofit organization, we focus on developing, funding, and managing nature-based carbon projects that support rural livelihoods and benefit the land. Our mission is to ensure that carbon markets are accessible, allowing landowners to generate ongoing revenue while honoring their connection to their land. Since 1997, we have pioneered carbon market solutions, advocating for the financial value of nature-based carbon projects and promoting sustainable land stewardship. We believe that a community united in land stewardship and climate-positive action is critical for a prosperous future. Our projects generate carbon offsets that we sell to buyers, providing revenue that goes directly back to landowners. By breaking down barriers to carbon market access, we aim to protect working lands and ranches, ensuring that they remain viable for future generations.
