The Nature Conservancy’s carbon offset program

With the rise in awareness and concern about the effects of climate change, voluntary carbon offset programs have begun to proliferate in the United States and around the world.

Such programs vary greatly in terms of their methodologies and offerings.

When you contribute to the Conservancy’s voluntary carbon offset program you are helping fund Nature Conservancy projects that are specifically designed to prevent the emissions of carbon dioxide or capture and store carbon and thus, help reduce the build up of greenhouse gases that are causing climate change.

When you make a contribution, your money will support projects that protect standing forests, improve forest management and plant trees where forests once existed, as well as measure and verify the amount of carbon that they store over time.

Users may choose to offset their carbon footprint via a one-time contribution or choose to contribute to the voluntary carbon offset program through monthly installments.
