About Climate Impact Partners

Climate Impact Partners delivers solutions for action on climate. Together with the world’s leading companies and quality project partners we will reduce 1 billion tonnes of CO2 to transform the global economy, improve health and livelihoods, and restore a thriving planet.

What We Do

We believe that carbon markets have a critical role to play in delivering action by putting a price on carbon and funding carbon reduction projects to meet our global climate goals. We develop and deliver the highest quality carbon financed projects from which we create carbon credit and energy attribute certificate portfolios for our clients. This enables organisations to offset the emissions they can’t reduce, put a price on carbon to incentivise change, and meet their ambitious climate goals.

Who We Work With

We work with leading corporates, NGOs, and governments to deliver solutions for climate impact, ensuring they meet their carbon neutral, net zero, and renewable energy goals.
