Five of the most-purchased carbon offsetting projects on the marketplace in June

Companies like yours can accelerate their path to net zero by investing in high-quality carbon offsetting projects that deliver real environmental impact and support sustainable development.

As climate change continues to pose significant threats to our planet, private investment in climate-focused projects has become more crucial than ever. The Climatetrade marketplace is a testament to the power of collective action in addressing these environmental challenges. In June, five standout projects emerged as top sellers, highlighting the diverse ways in which private funding can drive substantial positive change. From protecting biodiversity in the Amazon to generating renewable energy in India, these projects exemplify how strategic investments can safeguard our ecosystems, promote sustainable energy solutions, and reduce carbon emissions.

1/ Santa Maria – Protecting the forest in Brazil

The FSM-REDD Project is a bold initiative to protect the Brazilian Amazon. Located in the heart of the Deforestation Arch, Florestal Santa Maria S/A aims to prevent the release of nearly 30 million tons of CO2 over three decades by preserving its 71,714 hectares of pristine forest. Beyond carbon sequestration, FSM is deeply committed to the local community, partnering with a neighbouring State Park to establish fire brigades and collaborating with Colniza City Hall to create forestry schools, empowering young people and fostering environmental stewardship.
