Milkywire's Climate Transformation Fund, established in 2021, focuses on innovative projects that accelerate global net-zero goals. Our mission is to achieve maximum long-term CO₂ reduction or removal per dollar spent. We're committed to supporting new technical solutions, influencing climate policy for greater ambition, and scaling up nature-based projects. With 49 projects already backed and 15+ partners on board, we're paving the way for a sustainable future.

Discover why emission reduction credits can be as effective as carbon removals for net zero goals. Despite their theoretical equivalence, the debate highlights why removals are often preferred for ensuring the highest integrity in climate commitments.

In theory, emission reduction credits are as good as removals

The portfolio is a dynamic solution for companies to contribute to global biodiversity targets through three pillars: (1) policy and accountability to address systemic challenges; (2) hands-on protection and restoration; (3) innovative financing to drive change. It takes an impact-first approach, aiming to catalyse significant, lasting environmental change by prioritising local community needs and keeping people at the center.

Discover learnings from the climate space on the gap between companies' willingness to pay and their ability to do so, why a contribution logic is essential and helpful, and practical steps to implement it.

Forests are vital to life on Earth, hosting much of the world's biodiversity. They purify our air, filter our water, prevent erosion, and buffer against climate change. By protecting landscapes, restoring forests, and stopping deforestation, we can preserve vital natural goods and services for a sustainable future. Milkywire supports organizations working to protect and restore forests and enhance or reintroduce native tree and plant species for natural, sustainable restoration.

Explore the pivotal role of Milkywire's Forest and Landscape Fund focusing on forest restoration and deforestation prevention, amidst the EU's new regulations.
