The climate credit pipeline is broken.

(Too many middlemen.)

Nonprofits & governments take action but don’t track or cultivate them.

Researchers know how to solve climate problems but their projects don’t scale and they paywall findings.

Validating climate actions is expensive and overly technical.

Certifying bodies are slow, complicated, and take money from people on the ground.

Brokers add no value to the market but take >30% of margins and drive up the prices with speculation

Regulators consistently fail to give clear standards due to lobbying, political agendas, and private interests.

It’s driving prices up and directly hurting outcomes.

But…

We can fix it.

Savimbo is different.

No middlemen!

We pay Indigenous and local communities directly for taking action on land they own.

Our researchers donate their time to teach locals democratized science in their language so they can earn more.

We use better technology and train local in it to improve and automate tracking.

We work directly with certification bodies, and our automated data makes this process faster and less expensive.

We sell our own credits to drive out speculation and brokers. Our growers get those fees instead.

We make higher-quality projects to withstand changes as standards tighten, which also means our credits are higher value.

  • Mass poverty is not some kind of primordial lack; it is the result of an economic system that appropriates resources from the South, pays wages below the cost of subsistence, drains profits, and seeks to militate against attempts at sovereign economic development.

  • "Old-growth Amazonian forests play a fundamental role in the global climate and carbon cycle. They cycle =20% of the planet's fresh water and 30% of carbon contained in land vegetation."

  • "Demand for high-quality credit is expected to increase, therefore driving up prices of certain high-quality credits, while others will probably remain unused."
