The climate won’t wait. But neither will we
With comprehensive climate accounting, we can target all sources of global warming, including supercharged, short-lived climate pollutants to slow down global warming heat faster.
We can’t manage what we don’t measure
45% of global warming is caused by short-lived climate pollutants.* We use the most comprehensive, peer-reviewed climate accounting model available to measure all drivers of global warming and their impacts. In addition to CO₂ and other long-lived greenhouse gases, we fully value the benefits of short-lived climate pollutants, take stock of changes in “albedo,” the Earth’s reflectivity, and address reductions in pollutants that block heat. Focusing on these additional drivers now can make a huge difference within the next decade as well as in the longer term.
With better data, businesses, governments and investors can make the most informed and impactful climate mitigation decisions. At scale, we can significantly reduce many of the most potent drivers of excess global heat in years, not decades, and build a bridge to net-zero by 2050.

-
A breakthrough climate standard and registry
The Global Heat Reduction Registry is the first in the carbon market to offer project owners full value for mitigating the most harmful climate pollutants, and to enable buyers to get the most “bang for the buck” – not only in terms of emissions reduction, but also in terms of heat reduction – in order to achieve their climate goals. All claims are backed by independent verification.
-
A new climate footprint for organizations
We offer the most complete climate footprint accounting on the market, enabling businesses, organizations, and agencies to make better mitigation planning and investment decisions, whether that’s through direct emissions reduction and removal, insetting, or offsetting.
-
Advocacy and Advisory
We’re committed to working across sectors to share knowledge, advance effective policy, promote innovation and effective technologies, and advise on the near-term heat impacts of public and private investments.
