Our mission is to forge powerful partnerships that mitigate climate change, preserve biodiversity, and foster sustainable economic growth.
Our guiding principles — integrity, partnership, scientific rigour, and results—define our approach. We focus on designing and implementing strategies that deliver real, measurable impact.
Pangea Climate Partners was founded to address the challenges within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) REDD+ process and the limitations of voluntary carbon markets, which have left many developing nations struggling to meet their climate targets.
Forests, vital to the global effort to combat climate change, are often located in developing nations where economies depend on natural resource extraction.
These countries cannot bear the burden of protecting these critical ecosystems alone — they require significant international investment.

Our objective is to create transparent, high-integrity carbon and biodiversity credit markets that align with UNFCCC and Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) standards.
We achieve this by developing rigorous carbon accounting methodologies, ensuring accurate emissions and absorption measurements, and advocating for equitable financial mechanisms that reward nations for preserving their carbon-rich ecosystems.

The Importance
of Nature-Based Solutions
At the core of our work lies the belief that the greatest impact comes from a holistic approach that integrates forest protection, biodiversity conservation, rewilding, and environmental security.
These efforts are essential for effective climate change mitigation, the prevention of biodiversity loss and desertification, as well as contributing to global peace and security.
Forests, particularly tropical rainforests, play a crucial role in addressing climate change.
They serve as carbon stocks and sinks, absorbing billions of tons of CO₂ annually. However, human activity, such as deforestation, is causing an alarming rate of forest loss, driving emissions and threatening biodiversity.
Our mission is to protect these vital ecosystems while generating economic benefits for the nations we partner with.
Some Key Facts That Drive Our Works
Business as usual is not working in the fight against climate change and biodiversity loss.
We need to act urgently to stabilise the planet and only the private sector has the ability to mobilise the necessary investment at scale.
Emissions
Global emissions from human activity amount to approximately
41
billion
tonnes of CO₂ per year
11%
of these emissions are due to land-use changes like deforestation
About 1/3 of our emissions are absorbed back into the land each year, mostly by forests.
Deforestation
Human activity
has reduced global forest cover by one-third since pre-industrial times.

return flights
Each hectare of rainforest stocks an average of 160 tonnes of carbon — losing just one hectare is equivalent to 500 return flights between New York and London.

Biodiversity
Tropical forests, which cover only 6% of the Earth's land surface, are home to 50% of all known plant and animal species.
Protecting these ecosystems is critical to preserving global biodiversity.
