Arbor Day Carbon

Many companies hesitate to publicize their carbon credit purchases due to fear of criticism, but staying silent actually slows progress. The carbon market is maturing with higher standards, creating opportunities for companies to lead and shape the market. The Symbiosis Coalition, including giants like Google and Microsoft, is setting the pace by supporting nature-based solutions and transparency, showing that collective action can drive meaningful climate change solutions. At Arbor Day Carbon, we believe in the power of early adopters to make a positive impact.

ICYMI - In our recent webinar with Taking Root, Jeremy Manion emphasized the critical importance of systems-level thinking in addressing climate change. He discussed how human-created systems have pushed earth systems beyond their natural limits. By integrating human and earth systems, we can drive meaningful change and create a sustainable future. This approach helps us understand the interconnections and adapt our strategies to live within the limits of our planet. 🌱 If you’re interested in hearing more, check out the webinar replay! 👇 https://lnkd.in/gp7GJtgp

We cannot meet this moment alone. So we never do. That is why we are thrilled to announce our partnership with Pollination, a global leader in climate and nature investment, to accelerate nature-based carbon removal solutions.   Together, we will: 🌳 Identify and fund high-quality afforestation and reforestation carbon projects worldwide. 🌎 Fuel the voluntary carbon market with rigorously vetted and high-integrity carbon credits.   “Arbor Day’s global network of implementation partners, combined with Pollination’s experience in project finance and development will be a game-changing partnership that can deliver high integrity projects and credits at scale. We are truly excited to begin identifying where we can deploy this new partnership model." — Philip Cohn, Head of Carbon and Nature Projects at Pollination   We are excited to embark on this journey together, harnessing our combined strengths to achieve net-zero goals and make a lasting impact on our planet.

Why does it feel like extreme storms are happening more often? It all comes back to climate change. As the Arbor Day Foundation has said before, trees are not a silver bullet to climate change. Humanity must reduce its dependence on fossil fuels to make an impact on emissions. Even in this challenge, trees lend a helping hand (or branch?). Planted in the right place and managed properly, trees can lessen the need for heating and air conditioning, reducing even more emissions. We remain steadfast in our dedication to utilizing nature-based climate solutions to nurture our world’s ecosystems. We’re hopeful more planting partners, corporations, and project developers will continue to engage with this mission. Utilizing the voluntary carbon market as a tool, we can drive meaningful and enduring systemic transformation for life and prosperity on Earth, our only viable home.

The raucous waves of the voluntary carbon market in the last year have unsettled even the most seasoned of market leaders. Yet in this moment, I feel nothing but hope. For the first time, the federal government has thrown its weight behind the voluntary carbon market in a major way, signaling trust in its credibility. At the Arbor Day Foundation, we hope these guidelines will steady the stormy waters of the market and restore trust, because our planet urgently needs more trees. In the end, that’s what this market is all about. Learn more about the significant progress that's been made 👇
