Effective climate finance solutions require transparency, urgency, and rigor.

The topic of regenerative finance was explored in a World Economic Forum white paper, with interesting insights for companies that want to invest in climate solutions. Collective action and catalytic financing are necessary to meet the challenges of the climate crisis.

The authors wrote: “As the VCM has begun to scale up to meet growing corporate demand for carbon offsets to meet net zero targets, transparency has become a concern. For carbon markets to deliver on their promise, corporate buyers (and the general public) need to have confidence in their quality and integrity: carbon offsets need to transparently demonstrate causal and durable change to GHG concentrations while proving they are free from credibility concerns like double counting or leakage.“

This paper is an output of the Crypto Sustainability Coalition’s Working Group on Web3 Climate Action, exploring the relationship between blockchain innovation and climate action, focusing on real work examples and use cases.

We are encouraged to see companies working collectively to finance significant progress toward global netzero.

In a paper titled “Blockchain for Scaling Climate Action,” World Economic Forum highlights businesses that have set their sights past offsetting their own emissions to finance climate-positive solutions that can have the greatest impact. “Some leading corporations are going beyond net-zero commitments. Stripe, Alphabet, Shopify, Meta and McKinsey & Company recently pooled $925 million into Frontier, an advance market commitment to buy permanent CDR credits. These buying groups signal that financing will be ready for suppliers who can generate high-quality CDR solutions.“

The Northern Great Plains Regenerative Grazing Project is a new and innovative carbon removal project that enhances western grasslands and strengthens ranching communities. An investment in the Northern Great Plains Regenerative Grazing Project increases the adoption of sustainable ranching practices. As a result, the project helps preserve additional grasslands in the Yellowstone region. It improves the protected area’s natural buffer to help critical wildlife corridors that are part of the greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.

HelpBuild offsets from the Northern Great Plains Regenerative Grazing Project provide funding for fencing and water infrastructure. This allows ranchers to increase their number of pastures, decrease the size of the pastures, and increase speed and number of livestock rotations, thus prolonging rest and recovery of the grasses and their root systems.

As a part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, Montana is home to a diversity of plant and wildlife species that serve vital ecological functions while supporting Montana’s economy through recreation and tourism. Increasing its ecosystems' resilience and carrying capacity means reducing tensions between conservation, ranching, hunting and fishing.

The Northern Kenya Rangelands Project covers over 1.9 million hectares of savannah grassland that stretches across 14 conservancies. With rotational grazing practices resulting in 50 million tonnes of CO2 sequestered over the 30-year project lifespan. Carbon funding from the project will help diversify community income and support specific conservancy needs, including clean water, education, and infrastructure projects.
