Written By: Our second Climate Impact Portfolio of 2025, released on May 5, 2025, supports six carbon offset projects around the world. Read on to learn more about the impact these projects are creating for the climate, communities, and biodiversity.
Carbon offsets purchased from Portfolio 2 of 2025 are distributed across the forestry, energy, innovative climate technology, and blue/teal carbon projects listed below.
Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2e) by Project Type
Impact in Numbers
Altogether, these projects are accelerating the net zero transition by:
Preventing the loss of 1,060,000 acres of carbon-rich forests
Generating 296 GWh of clean energy yearly and replacing 20,000 inefficient cookstoves
Applying mycorrhizal fungi to 20,000 acres of crops to enhance soil carbon removal
Protecting 90,000 acres of tropical peat swamp that stores teal carbon.

Portfolio 2 of 2025 is composed of six climate projects: Khalladi Wind Farm, Keo Seima, Garo Clean Cookstoves, Rootella Carbon, Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve, and Yaeda-Eyasi Landscape Project.
Read on to learn more about each of these projects and how they are catalyzing climate action around the world.

Energy
Morocco
The Khalladi Wind Farm addresses energy and social challenges in Morocco’s northernmost region, home to historic coastal towns, the UNESCO medina of Tetouan, and the iconic Blue City of Chefchaouen. Historically reliant on imported fossil fuels, Morocco faces high emissions and energy insecurity. This project responds to these challenges by generating clean, renewable wind electricity. It also bridges the rural-urban divide through improved education access, healthcare, economic opportunities, and infrastructure, fostering both environmental and social progress.

Energy
India
The Garo Hills of India, with its dense forests, abundant wildlife, and cultural heritage, offers tourism potential for the Indigenous communities that reside there. However, the widespread use of inefficient wood-fired cookstoves releases hazardous emissions, causing serious health risks, driving forest loss, deepening gender disparities, and perpetuating high poverty rates. This project addresses these challenges by introducing cleaner cookstoves that require less firewood, improve air quality, and shorten cooking times. It also empowers rural communities through diversified job opportunities, sustainable tourism development, and enhanced quality of life.

Through a recent technical training initiative, 25 women have been empowered with specialized skills in solar energy, covering system assembly, maintenance, and career development within the renewable energy sector. This educational outreach is paired with a strategic expansion of Solar Electrical Pressure Cooker (EPC) distribution, funded by carbon offset reinvestments for communities with solar mini-grids. By transitioning households from firewood and LPG to clean cooking technology, the project significantly reduces the domestic time burden on women, improves respiratory health, and curbs local deforestation, directly advancing the region’s net-zero and community empowerment goals.

Innovative Technology
United States
Rootella is a seed treatment and soil additive full of mycorrhizal fungi that create a symbiotic relationship with crops and increase plants’ natural ability to sequester carbon in the soil. The fungus extends the plant root in an underground web, significantly improving nutrient uptake and making crops more resilient to climate change impacts like storms and drought. This results in healthier plants that require less chemical fertilizers and larger harvests that strengthen food supplies. Farmers benefit economically from higher crop yields, lower fertilizer expenses, and carbon credit revenues.

Forests
Cambodia
This project conserves a tropical forest sanctuary that holds significant cultural and economic value to the Indigenous Bunong people. The project cuts emissions from deforestation by protecting this area from unsustainable farming and logging and addressing social issues like hunger and poverty that drive communities to extractive practices. Along with safeguarding tree species that cannot be found elsewhere, the sanctuary impedes wildlife trafficking and provides a refuge for endangered species like the yellow-cheeked gibbon.

Blue/Teal Carbon
Indonesia
This project is conserving a peat swamp forest in Indonesian Borneo that was slated for conversion to palm oil plantations. Along with protecting this carbon rich ecosystem, the project supports the reintroduction of critically endangered orangutans into their wild habitat. By addressing issues such as poverty, hunger, and disease, the project is tackling the root causes of deforestation while improving local livelihoods.

Forests
Tanzania
This project helps Tanzania’s indigenous communities safeguard their natural resources and prevent their land from being converted into cropland by encroachers. With a focus on preserving their forested homeland and traditional lifestyles, the project provides the communities with a new income stream and funds social initiatives that improve access to education and healthcare.
Latest Updates
In 2023, the project delivered significant benefits to local communities and ecosystems, improving healthcare access for 21,294 people through the construction of medical housing and facilities while supporting the education of 1,604 children. Conservation efforts also saw measurable success, with forest protection initiatives contributing to increased populations of key species, such as giraffes. To ensure the continued effectiveness of these programs, a dedicated Monitoring & Evaluation Officer collaborated with Yaeda-Eyasi village game scouts to review annual patrol data. This evaluation process, enriched by advanced training and scout feedback, has significantly enhanced data integrity and security, further strengthening the project’s long-term environmental impact.
Offset Carbon to Support Our Climate Impact Portfolio
When you offset carbon with us, you’ll support our Climate Impact Portfolio. Though particular projects vary from one quarter to the next, our portfolio always includes a mix of forestry, energy, blue/teal carbon, and innovative tech projects.
