The Climate Trust is a 501(c)(3) non-profit working towards a more stable climate. Our mission is to provide climate change solutions by purchasing high quality greenhouse gas (GHG) offsets from projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and advancing sound offset policy.

We purchase offsets on behalf of entities interested in mitigating their GHG emissions through the implementation of projects that lead to verifiable reductions of GHG levels in the atmosphere. The Climate Trust solicits, negotiates, and contracts to purchase offsets on behalf of its funders, including power plants, businesses and individuals. As one of the largest and most experienced purchasers of offsets in the U.S., The Climate Trust has $9 million invested in a diverse portfolio of offset projects that are expected to reduce 2.6 million metric tons of greenhouse gases.

Advancing sound climate change policy is another integral aspect of our work. The Climate Trust is one of the leading organizations in the U.S. focused on implementing high quality GHG offset projects. We have been an active participant in the offset market since its inception and a key contributor to state, regional, national, and international climate change policy discussions. As a result, we have strong working relationships with leading climate policy groups and stakeholders involved in the climate change policy debate. The Climate Trust continues to be a strong advocate for high quality standards in the offset market.
