Project Background
The Climate Trust proposes to develop and launch the Environmental Price Assurance Facility to help mitigate risks associated with the future value of environmental credits. The Facility, by serving as a buyer-of-last-resort for credits, will increase certainty for investors and projects developers, helping spur implementation of agriculture and forestry conservation projects. Landowners will see increased income from additional investment by private capital in voluntary conservation projects.
