Restoring ecosystems worldwide through innovative nature-based solutions.
Our story.

The Green Branch was founded to create permanent forest cover and to close the financing gap for Nature-Based climate Solutions (NBS). Forests play a major role in climate mitigation, protecting our endangered biodiversity and boosting communities. Yet, restoration and conservation projects  fail to reach maturity because they remain drastically underfunded and lack technical capacity.

The Green Branch is an impact-first carbon asset developer and manager. Our missionis   to   support   the   conservation,   restoration,   and   sustainable   management   ofproductive forest landscapes. We do this in regions where high potential for climateand biodiversity impact is matched by significant barriers to finance.

We identify projects with strong ecological foundations and credible local partners,then bring them from concept to carbon market readiness. Through a combination ofearly-stage funding, technical assistance, and long-term asset stewardship, we helpproject   developers   overcome   the   complexities   of   certification   processes,   MRVsystems, and catalytic project finance.

Who we are

We are a team of practitioners, thinkers, and doers committed to enabling real climatesolutions on the ground.

At The Green Branch, we bring together experience from climate finance, carbon assetdevelopment, ecology, and community engagement. Some of us have worked inmultilaterals and investment firms; others have built grassroots movements oradvised governments. What unites us is a shared belief: that forests are not justcarbon sinks, but living systems worthy of protection, investment, and care.

Our team is small but deeply collaborative. We operate at the intersection of science,finance, and fieldwork to develop projects with a comprehensive approach. Most of all,we’re driven by curiosity, collaboration and a strong will to change the world for thebetter.

The Green Branch is building a next-generation carbon development company that combines technical excellence with deep financial knowledge, long-term thinking, and
local partnerships.
